The message
from "shazzbat" contains these words:

The wood pigeons totally decimate the brassicas if they are not netted.

"if
you don't net 'em, you don't get 'em"


pedant

You can't *TOTALLY* decimate anything: you either decimate it, or you
don't. (Decimate means kill one in ten.)

/pedant


They came and decimated them ten times :-))
