QUOTE (On the edge @ Aug 8 2011, 08:16 PM) whilst I can see there might be a need to manage wildlife populations for various reasons Possibly so, but if there is a need then lets be discreet about it, not glorify it. The main reason is probably that there are a lot of humans on this crowded isle needing more and more food, therefore not enough room to allow wildlife to live alongside.

QUOTE (user23 @ Aug 8 2011, 08:45 PM) Isn't a large amount of our food imported? Yes because of cheap foreign labour. Also a lot of our farming land is being concreted over. Just look at what is happening around Newbury, any green space and the council or the Newbury Few want to develop it for short gain profit.

QUOTE (user23 @ Aug 8 2011, 10:05 PM) Which farming land in Newbury is being concreted over? Er - Sandleford? We have now infilled up to the Newbury bypass which we were insured would not happen! Come on User you can't really try to deflect the impossible surely?

Come on User you can't really try to deflect the impossible surely? Sandleford has not been farmland for several years - it has stood fallow for ages. Infilled up to the by-pass? Where?

Come on User you can't really try to deflect the impossible surely? Sandleford isn't farmland and we haven't "infilled up to the Newbury bypass". Here's a map of some nice green fields.

Infilled up to the by-pass? Where? Sandleford Farm? Now the recycling centre. Houses built right up to the bypass - Enborne - by the old Enborne Garage?

Thank goodness LDs not in - or it would soon be covered with Astro turf, floodlights and medical centres - like the 'green gap' between Newbury and Thatcham!

QUOTE (On the edge @ Aug 8 2011, 08:16 PM) I spent a while with a pest control firm in London 'controlling rats'. Had to be done, but unpleasant - they are lovely creatures. You're kidding right? No, seriously..... you ARE kidding aren't you? Is that what the householders that called you in to get rid of them in your previous job called them? 'lovely'? I can't see our little friend Ben ( Rattus rattus) being a lovely creature... If not, you are Michael Jackson and I claim the £5 reward....
