Ordered 3kg of rat poison (Neosorexa), as recommended by @Fairygirl, on Ebay but apparently they can't sell it to someone without the relevant certificate, which is annoying. I've had to cancel the order and buy the more expensive smaller quantity. Nice little earner for somebody.
Or peppermints - apparently rats don't like the smell. Not sure I'd be willing to rely on that though
Speaking of things popular in the 70s, can you still buy advocaat? Or custard and white spirit, as we used to know it? Too nasty even for a punishment drink

Does anyone else remember Dad's cookies? They were regular inhabitants of our biscuit tin when I was a child. When my Canadian relatives visit, they always bring me some. Why are they no longer sold in the UK?

Yes, that happened to someone else recently. I bought sachets of Neosorexa Gold on line about 5 or 6 weeks ago and no questions asked. Did the business in my roof space.
A word to the wise: I put some containers in a sheltered spot for the winter. I nearly lost the lot. I forgot that the spot was also sheltered from the rain😐
Two weeks ago, I visited both my sons, (they are long term sick registered disabled) I take food, produce from garden, one my oldest couldn' tget soya milk or paracetamol, I posted him 2 blister packs, in an A4 envelope which I folded in half securly sellotaped, 2 first class stamps, after more than a week,they had not arrived, I sent another 2 strips same packaging, 2 first class stamps, THEY arrived, then he received a card from Royal Mail saying the first pack required an extra, wait for it, sit down people £3.50, I dont think so!!! Hubby just returned from visit to DIY store all annoyed demanding to know where the pack of blue surgical masks were, well, for a start he's never worn them he doesn't like them, wears a washable one, plenty of them, (bought another pack this week from a very well kown store, it's not just a mask it's ****** mask,informed him most had been used ONCE then disposed of.
