Will they really disappear?

A 38% drop in collisions does not equate to a reduction in the number of fatal accidents!

A cut above the usual 'man buggers livestock' story, I think.

Hide and seek goes wrong

Call me an intolerable cynic, but how did he manage to climb in and shut the door properly so the machine could start a cycle?

This kind of story makes me think it would be a good idea if next time one of these Iranian clerics visits a western country there should be several thousand people armed with a plentiful supply of decent-sized stones waiting to greet them as they leave the airport terminal!

Do 5-year olds really have a character that can be defamated? It would seem so (money grabbing cheapskates)  :wank:

You saying that you know more about British wildlife than an ex boy scout?
I find that hard to believe

Twice FFS! Well I was in 1st Knutsford cubs, a sixer and everything. I've never seen an olive green adder though.

Those olive/brown adders are all 12mm in diameter and burrow into cornish granite to escape from jealous locals.

Yorkshire family trapped in their house by deadly snake.

What is it with Brits and snakes? I have a creek full of Tiger & Eastern Brown Snakes behind my place and it doesn't keep anybody here out of their gardens - the only casualty I've heard of in our time has been a local cat a few doors down that disturbed a Tiger Snake sleeping under their house.
Local fire crews counted at least 20 snakes fleeing a controlled burn along the creek earlier this year but that hasn't stopped loads of local kids continuing to walk to school and back along it's banks and they even fish and swim in the deeper pools!

Expensive cars get clamped. It's not like they can't afford the penalty charge.

Not all Brits just a couple of dead muppets.

I'll see your Tger and Eastern Browns and raise you a green mamba that had fallen out of a tree and was in the swiming pool in our back garden. I notice it when I was thigh deep (and yes snakes can swim).
