My great grandfather was a gamekeeper and it was important that he showed his employer he was doing his job by killing everything that was a threat to the game birds by putting them up on a gibbet, He was a man of few words. I remember visiting aged 11, (on my own) and he gave me ginger wine. I told him I'd made some spills to light his fire with. I inherited his taxidermy glass cases raptors and owls, stoats, weasels etc. I gave them to Leics Museum. AFAIK they are still there. Tina |

Hang 'em by the nuts - that'll scare them off! One problem with that is that the females don't seem to have many nuts! But I prefer to kill the females, as every one you kill means about 10,000 less squirrels! Alan -- David in Normandy.
