Fuddster Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 So, anyhow I have a spare tall freezer in the garage housing all of last seasons game and 60 odd steel shot woodies for a friends hawks. The other day, my dear wife says 'any spare room in your freezer for some freezer blocks?'.......of course dear pop them in. Tonight, I find the door has been left ajar and the contents defrosted and ruined. about 25 pheasants whole and breasted 1 hare jointed a woodcock some duck breasts about 20 partridge 65 woodies and some rabbits. I am now on 'rightmove' searching for a wigwam in the woods away from anyone. On pointing out her apparent failing her answer was.....well is the freezer working?......my answer 'No-not with the bloo..door left open'. I am now off to my zen yoga retreat via some large G and T's. at least I still have ice cubes. f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Happened to me about 12 months ago. Fortunately it was emptier than your freezer, I used all the defrosted goodies as trail camera bait. Went the next day to change the camera batteries to be greeted by local busy body telling me he’d phoned the RSPB, Shropshire badger watch and was waiting for a call back from DEFRA because someone had dumped a load of meat and stuff in our field and was clearly trying to poison the badgers or the ravens or both. He didn’t know where to look when I said it was me, and I then said if I was trying to poison badgers, ravens or pillocks who were trespassing off the footpath on my ground then I probably wouldn’t be trying to do it in front of a great big camera that’s strapped to the fence photographing and videoing anything that comes within 50m of the bloody camera. It made me more cross than Mrs BTJ leaving the freezer open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davewh100 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 i think you need a lock on the freezer door with the key in a good safe place we live and learn ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 How come the ice didn't melt ? Or can I guess that she left the door open after she took them out ? Just slap her with one of the defrosted birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 On the bright side you have an empty freezer to re-fill in the coming months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankydiver Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Went on holiday for ten days and I asked my son to cut my grass while I was away. He did this but unplugged the freezer FOUR SOCKETS AWAY from the nearest one by the door..He did not think to plug it in again. Everything was ruined the house smelled for a week. He has a degree in languages. Its a pity he did not get one in common sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very optimistic of you! Went to a fairly new permission to shoot crows this morning-about 250 around the farm so got set up, shot a dozen and some ferals-wife calls to say daughter has chipped her front tooth at school-so packed up at 1.30pm to get her to emergency dentist appointment. roll on a post dog walk beer. atb f.
