Any pointer to the best source? Be fore you ask I want to make a
squirrel trap, I am fed up of the blighters eating all my bird seed!

There is a standard underground drainpipe which is 160mm od and around
6" bore.
Should be available from a real builders merchant - possibly in 3m lengths.

I have just seen that toolstation stock it - £25 for 3m and should be
free delivery.

BS 3505 PVC pipe from PipeCenter or similar is available in 6 inch bore.
Class C pipe will be the cheapest and I doubt you need more than 9 bar
pressure rating for your application.

A dwarf couple who work in a circus are expecting a baby. They go to the
hospital for the check up.

The doctor says, "Everything is fine. Tell me, what do you want a boy or a
girl?"

The guy replies, "Well, we don't really give a **** as long as it fits in a
cannon!"

Many thanks for all the helpful replies, I have decided after checking
on prices, especially locally that I might just as well spend another
25% and get a tube trap that kills the blighters, that will save me a
(to me) difficult job.

even with the proper trap, they are difficult to catch. they can take the
bait and get outwithout setting the trap off.
