@B3 , I'm sorry for your loss. There is a special circle of hell reserved for sunflower chewing tree rats, no doubt. I would be turning the air blue if I lost one of mine.
A doctor prescribes a patient a course of suppositories, saying: "Put one of these in your back passage every night and see me in a week's time.". The patient thinks the instructions a bit odd, but does as he's told; every night he goes out in the yard and tosses a suppository over the wall into the ginnel. He goes back to the doctor, who asks if he's any better. "Not a bit," says the patient. "For all the good those pills did me, I might as well have stuck them up my ...."
Doing his rounds, the doctor goes to his top pocket for his biro only to discover a suppository instead. “Dear God,” he says, “some a _ _ e has got my pen.”
I think a .22 air rifle could sort out wild edges security light problem and then on to B3’s tree rat problem. someone opposite my son in law had one playing on his house light that is is, not rat! along with a camera, he told the bloke it he didnt move them, he would move them for him, and it wouldn’t be with a screw driver. Well, it is Cornwall they rarely call the police out, most disputes are handled without the need!

At leas you didn't open a can of worms by suggesting it would solve the cats fighting problem too.
I can't sau I haven't been tempted to fix the lights myself but the nosy neighbour behind my house caught me leaning out of an upstairs window to shoot a rat a couple of weeks ago. She reports everyone for everything around here so I'm keeping a low profile until I'm sure she isn't calling the police. I'm hoping she hates rats as much as she hates people but she's probably just trying to catch me on camera or something.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Hill fire update: Air support has been called in to try and get it under control. I wish they'd shift the flight path slightly though as he's spilling loads of water on the way to the fire and I'm about half way between the fire and the reservoir. He's done enough trips now to water my garden if he came right over.
