I was wondering about a weasel or weasels.
If you want to move them on I believe the traditional method involves half a pound of tuppenny rice and half a pound of treacle.
It might get a bit noisy after that though........
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Meanwhile..... back to the railways, eh Tom?

As you started ramblings about animal infestation in your own thread Peter I can't envoke the 'back to the trains' order.

Anthony Newley..... that's the boy! Isn't it strange how, in later years, names escape you? I hope you have many years to go before you're affected.

Toe late! I can remember stupid stuff like that, but not the stuff that would be useful now!

Slightly back on topic. I have discovered a significant 'collapse' in the Unobtainium mine, which I suspect is rodent related. When I get back home I will inspect further.

Bunnies on the line..... at least I think this damage is rabbit related.....

There isn't a hole in the ground this time, just disturbance, so, having seen a bunny on the railway just a couple of days ago I guess one is responsible?

I am surprised that you have coneys if there is a weasel about. Perhaps it has been listening to Leonard Cohen records and has decided to end it all?
There is a good cure for rabbits, it involves a pastry overcoat.

I was recently dragged to see the film 'Peter Rabbit' and found myself salivating throughout. :twisted:
