Your lips do not change the fact that they are vermin!
But he particularly said he would not welcome posts about they are vermin.
So you post two.
You have not forgotten in two minutes, so I'm away about supporting you
about your memory probs.

Vermin is just a matter of ones own opinion, in particular Alan's, I
will grant you that they are not indigenous to the UK.
Neither are Rabbits, Muntjacs, Collared Doves and the bloody cats that
crap on my lawn but all *are welcome to share my little plot of land
along with the Hedgehogs, Badgers & Fox's.
Non of them do any amount of damage that I cannot cope with even when
the Badgers occasionally dig up the lawn looking for worms, I just push
the turf back down.


Consider yourself very lucky, or maybe just in the initial stages of
badger destruction. Mine have broken a large hole in my garden fence,
which when I blocked it with a couple of breeze blocks, just tunneled
under the blocks, when I blocked the tunnel, just broke another large
hole in the fence adjacent to the previous one. They have half
demolished a small dry stone wall at the back of my garden, dug
numerous flowering plants out of tubs and turned said tubs on their
side emptying out all the soil. They have fallen into the garden pond
and in their panic to get back out again have punctured the liner, and
the water has drained out.

This is in addition to the damage to the lawn which looks like it has
been used for mortar practice by the army most mornings.

All in all, I am sick of the things. My decent 'wildlife garden' has
been turned into a disaster area. I am not even sure that I have the
enthusiasm to repair anything, as the badgers will just destroy it
again.
