    Similar in the big centre in Cornwall, Ā it was a marquee type and they shredded the sheets, daubed paint all over the place.Ā

    Son is working managing mobile testing centres all over East Anglia Ā ā€¦ he says there are still Covidiots turning up and making nuisances of themselves. Heā€™s 6ft and built like a brick sh*t house as they say in Suffolk, has a full beard and a scary stare ā€¦ he says a few minutes of him glaring at them usually sees them slink off and find something to do elsewhere.Ā

    Sorry to hear about the van expenses. Presumably youā€™d have to pay the tax and insurance anyway? So the mot and repairs might not be the birthday present youā€™d have asked for, but itā€™ll hopefully keep you mobile?

    I was just speaking to my mum who was complaining about pine martens.
    I can understand that they're a problem if you keep chickens, though.
    So are polecats, mink, ferrets, stoats, and a whole host of other animals that should be more abundant than they are. We could live with a few less of the 150 million chickens though.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Mink shouldn't be present at all, let alone be more abundent.Ā  The are introduced just like the grey squirrel.

    Apparently pine Martens will enable native red squirrels to return, they know to avoid them while the greys are not smart enough.Ā  Send some pine Martens here any timešŸ˜‰

    Apparently there are now Pine Martens back in the New Forest, which is just fantastic news, considering there were none in England not that long ago.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Is there a pine marten re introduction programme, like the beaver one? Iā€™d love some pine martens in the garden. We have lots of Scots Pine, and plenty of grey squirrels, where can I sign up?
