More seriously, is it badgers that can get into wheelie bins? We used to have badgers visit our garden and while they were gorgeous, I recall it being actually quite hard to effectively badger-proof a bin. That may have been before wheelie bins were the norm though.

I don't have a problem with fox hunting (I used to shoot them myself in my youth, working the farms) but I do have a problem with the Hunt and their assumption of supremacy, but that's a different issue altogether

Yeah, it's meant to be culling for a purpose because they ARE a problem unchecked. But torturing them to death and ripping them to pieces is a different matter.

By the way, did I ever mention that I know EXACTLY how I would react in a life or death situation because I once disturbed an acne-ridden burglar?
