Guest long-tail Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) where do they come from mate.could have escaped do you think a load was said to have escaped from waverly in surrey many years ago i think it was, plenty near staines and feltham area middlesex there are literaly hundreds of them and spreading across west london noisy feckers is an understatement sure i saw something couple years ago about bringing them under a licence for farming pest control not sure exact details but they are very common anyways as kittlerox said sorry should read it all first Edited August 20, 2012 by long-tail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
