    Go around the back of any sea food restaurant in France and Spain and I'll guarantee that most of the fish boxes are branded with UK suppliers. The reason sea food is so expensive in the UK is because it is regarded as a luxury. In France and Spain it is an everyday ingredient of their cooking. Spain is the largest consumer of sea food and yet has virtually no fisheries of their own. France imports € millions of sea food every year from the UK and most of its own catch quota are in British waters.

    That is why it doesn't make sense to totally exclude the EU boats at the moment. They could be granted licences on an annual basis and be given less each year so the British fleet can invest and expand.

    The fishing argument is a lot more complicated than people realise. Every day hundreds of French and Spanish registered refrigerated lorries arrive in the UK loaded with French and Spanish farm produce. They unload in the UK and then go and load up with fresh sea food to take back to French and Spanish markets. Those lorries can't go back empty as it would cost the hauliers too much and that cost would be passed onto the farm producers making their products less competitive. Macrons' threat about banning British sea food from French markets is nonsense. It would put his own farmers and haulie

    Another issue with older traps is that the spring tension isn't enough to cleanly eject the trigger. If you can pull the jaws open with your hands wide enough to place a trigger then the trap should be binned IMO.

    As well as cleaning the touching parts it also depends on where you place the trigger. With used traps I find it best to place the trigger higher than when the traps are new. It is easy enough to test the trigger action before placing the trap.

    I have had Canadians, Americans, Australians, Belgians, Dutch, Germans, Irish and Brits, but only one French customer, a farmer. The locals round here don't seem to mind moles hence the lack of professional mole trappers. At first I advertised on a freeads site but never got a response from the French. It was only when I put an advert in a magazine for ex-pats that the business took off. When touring I've passed through vast areas without the sign of a molehill. Fortunately I don't live in one of them ?

    Same over here in France. It's gone crazy on the moles. Funny thing is I'm looking to retire in a couple of years time and so have stopped taking on any new business. I haven't advertised for over 18 months either but new enquiries are still finding me. I've declined 9 since the start of June. If only I were younger ?

    The OP isn't married There is a clue in the thread title. He has to boil his own eggs.

    If that is the case, and I don't doubt you, it brings into question who have been doing the trials the company talk about?

    You could always get a wife. After Brexit once the import duty is cut Thai Brides will be 10% cheaper.

    I thought that you'd be rooting for Norwich. Being a cuntryman and all.
  18. Nicepix
    I suppose there isn't much difference between Old Trafford and Carrow Road to the casual colour blind observer.
  19. Nicepix
    Norwich were at home. Weren't you paying attention?

    ...and it takes the central defender to play poacher in the box to get the winning goal against ten men ?

    Would you want to live in Scotland? ?

    I use the same pork mince for the meatballs I cook for dinner. Difference is I use breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic & peppers and add more smoked paprika, hot chilli powder and salt. Then make a tomato sauce using chorizo, bacon lardons, onions, garlic, smoked paprika and add some white beans. That is a lot tastier than the fishing bait. ?
  23. Nicepix
    Of course he would. He's Scottish.

    You survived because all the germs get killed by the microwaves. Even Max could have worked that out.

    Buy a couple of pounds of rough pork mince, add around 8oz of dried bread crumbs, knead the mixture well and leave for half an hour to allow the bread to soak up the moisture then roll some balls. Heat up an oven to 180C then put the balls in the oven on a raised grill to allow the liquid to drain, for around 45 minutes then take them out and allow them to cool. You can freeze whatever you don't use. For carp and barbel I add smoked paprika powder and use sieved maize meal and crushed hemp instead of breadcrumbs. For catfish I'd just keep it simple and make the balls twice the size. .
