    Oh dear. You'd be in BIG trouble if you'd eaten one of my Double Deckers :eek:

    And in foreign climes where that particular food source is scarce (I presume?). Tsk. :naughty:

    Thank you PM - disgraceful behaviour :p

    In other news money GG and I are being quite naughty. Not of the Mary Whitehouse variety you understand (younger readers now consulting Google) but of the variety that would "wind up" Mr Ed (no not the horse - Ed our own potential IFA) :o

    No Alex, our days of accidentally purchasing houses are behind us :rotfl:. Any potential purchases will be of the [STRIKE]'oh it's pretty I want that one'[/STRIKE] long thought out and evaulated variety :D.

    Gally, our neighbours just cut their side of our adjoining hedge.
    Fine except there is a lot of birdie activity in there.
    Will they still be nesting?

    Well too late now if they are :(

    DK Al, I think most just have one brood in which case should be ok - I know the sparrows out here breed like crazy though, the female was back faffing about on the nest we had the day after the chicks fledged :eek:.
