A yes it is coming back to me now! Can just recall Blakes 7 , 'now Space 1999 I used to love.' There were plenty of others along the way. Monty Pythons Flying Circus' was my favourite. 'The Moley grail' Maybe the the the 'Holy hand grenade of Antioch' would have been helpful Ditchy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , you could see the run as perfectly as you can see a surface run on grass . I just couldn't believe that a mole could work it's way through a hardcore base but it did. It's a long sad story , but she ended up buying her gardener a ride on lawn mower after he'd had a heart attack , but her massive lawn was so riddled with mole runs , she was worried that the lawn would collapse under the lawn mower . I trapped moles in her garden every week for years , until I finally managed to get permission to gas a few acres of scrub next door.
