Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:193574

Now here's a peculiar thing. Today, the day when the clocks go forward and
the rugby internationals end and the first day of the year that I reach for
my garden spade. I nip down to this wooden bunker at the bottom of the
garden, where some of my tools are stored. I haven't been inside this bunker
since about November. I lift the lid, and find it half full of really nice
top-soil. I have no idea where it came from. All of my tools are burried
underneath.........I think. Going to find out more tomorrow during an
experimental dig. I think there's about half a ton of earth in there. Any
ideas? Rats? Badgers? Moles? Wombats?

Are you sure you're in the right house?

Oh, thanks, you've just made me splutter my coffee all over my monitor!

Assuming the bunker has a solid bottom, I reckon you're harbouring a
carefully concealed dismembered corpse. The soil topping is to mask the
smell. What's worse, the murderer didn't leave your spade behind when
he'd finished.

Go round the back and might see a nice neat hole, just big enough for a rat
to nip in and out of :-(( Had the same problem myself.

Mind how you dig into the pile, there may be small pink ratlets there :-((

Going to dig in and explore tomorrow morning. Trembling with
anticipation........mind, I've got some lovely soil for the borders.
If it is a rat.........then it must be huge. Ants.........End of the world
as we know it. Body........nobody missing from the locality.

I will put a tenner on rats. You will find chewed up newspaper or other
paper, possibly polythene, and a nice little soft lined nest in the middle.

And if there are ratlets in there, they will run faster than you can catch
them :-))

and if cats were all they were cracked up to be by the crack pot
enthusiasts, you wouldn't have a rats nest in there. We are over run with
the wretched things and 'still' had rats :-((
(Might be better now the old boy who did live next door has died and so
there are no longer birds in the aviary at the bottom of the garden :-))

Rats, I'd guess.

I have two snakes who would really appreciate some small pink ratlets!
