We have concrete gravel boards and no tunnels, but used to have an open passage along the side of the house which gave access to numerous gardens. That is now blocked with wooden gates since we inherited a tortoise that roams freely around the garden during the warm months. I'm not sure how much longer it can last though, when my m-i-l and f-i-l were given it the vet estimated that it was 60 to 70 years old ... and that was forty-odd years ago! SteveW |

I agree the hedgehogs disappeared when sever of the neighbours put concrete gravel boards around all the gardens. We tried leaving tunnels but there is nowhere for them to go. It's all turning into fences with gravel boards around here as well. And all the new builds I work on are exactly the same. Clinically clean and they have no prospect for any wildlife at all - they cannot even attract a butterfly. Although I have an excuse NOT to trim my back garden hedge ATM.

Cats adopt humans as staff and it;s difficult to train a cat, dogs need friends and will do what they can to please you whereas cats have a mind of their own and do what they want. But, IMHO, if people have pets they should take responsibility for them. If cats cannot be controlled, then people should not have them for pets. Why isnt that true of children and senile relos ? Do children **** in your garden? |

If yuo trap then they will sit and **** for much longer, also I think it's illegal to trap a pet in such a way. Why is even a single cat belonging to someone else ****ting in your garden acceptable? that's what they do it's like birds also ****ting in your garden. No, one is the action of wildlife the other is the result of an anti-social pet owner. No pet owners don't need to **** in someone elses garden. |

Almost invisible. You would know if you had moles! We had moles all over one of our lawns for about two years, we did nothing and then they disappeared and haven't seen any mole hills since. Moles are constantly on the move. Sometimes they dig all the way through the earth's crust. A likely story... Prove they don't. Cats can be in one place one moment, then somewhere else the next, they're like sand flies, they're magic. How do you think volcanoes start? That's the devil farting, stupid. And lava flow is anal seepage? -- A government survey has shown that 91% of illegal immigrants come to this country so that they can see their own doctor. |

No, but we can blame the bodgers though. I've got hedgehogs. I left them some where to live. We also have them, as does another neighbour across the road. Are they called hedgehogs because they like hedges? I never actually noticed the first 5 letters were the same. Never seen one in a hedge, just sat in the middle of my lawn. Hang on, you have fences. They hang out under the shrubbery. |

She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible. I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment." I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."
