Mears hasn't a clue. The experts say there are loads of these Lynx here already. They don't target the dopey slow sheep. Much preferring the quick deer. Something to do with wool sticking in their teeth I believe. Ffs Mears, cop the feck on!! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is mate ,we are up against the turnip mentality .We have them here ,silly old buggers that just stand and grin if you talk to them ,either that or they blank you and whip the conversation round to suit themselves . Youll never get a straight answer out a turnip as long as the feckers a hole in his arse. You’ll notice everyone of my posts has the turnip signature to the right bottom corner .Quaint ,West Country but dim as feck . 1 Link to post Share on other sites
EDDIE B 3,120 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Speaking of lynx. Compared to alleged footage and sightings of black leopards, why is there so little alleged footage/sightings of lynx? Is it A, that the terain of the British countryside is more suited to black leopards, than lynx, and so black leopards are thriving, whilst lynx are not? Or B, there ain't many house cats with short tails, and tufts on their ears, therfore mistaken sightings by the public is not really a thing? I know which one I'm going for 3 Link to post Share on other sites
