I have to say than any advice that involves dangling ones plums through a spring loaded shutter, is not in any way 'Genius'.

Now, opening the door and then getting them out, I'm all in favour of, but for some reason the nursery school across the way aren't overly impressed.

Prefer my plums not turning into Bagpuss...but thanks anyway for the genius tip.
