Driving over towards Olney earlier this week when a sudden bang from under the Car forces me to stop and check that nothing has fallen off the old Jalopy ( and also the "Boss" made me) so I pulled by the side of the Road and did my best to look concerned and intelligent as I scanned the area around the Car. After having spent what I considered enough time looking to keep "her" happy I was about to regain my rightful position when a youngish chap appeared from an over grown Gateway and looked my way. I hastily nodded and exchanged the obligatory "alright". "NO" - he spat out as he walked towards me. My immediate thought was to get in the Car quick in the fear that I may have just ran over his Barbie's favourite Jeep but the explanation was far more interesting ******* Rabbits - eating my plants faster than I can put them in the ground" Turns out that the chap had invested money in a piece of land and was trying to mimic the "Good Life" by growing all his own food but Rabbits were destroying his best efforts. A quick peek over the Gate revealed about 30 or 40 Acres and several Rabbits were feeding even though it was near midday. A few minutes chatting and I'm in!!! Come as often as I like and use whatever I want as long as the Rabbits get gone - his land is surrounded by fields so no problems with neighbours and I might take the Air Arms carbine till they begin to wise up then finish the job with the RF - whichever way it's happy days ahead
