People do eat squirrel in this country Paul & was just the other week on TV someone who trapped squirrels was eating squirrel pie. I don't think I would fancy it to be honest as they look too much like rats with a bushy tail.

He's now gone to the woods many miles away where there are no houses but, maybe lots of other new friends for him to terrorise.

I also found out that a grey squirrel has to eat around 40% of their body weight per day because of all the energy they burn up. Could you imagine what us humans would look like if we had to eat that amount of food per day.

I'm now enjoying the peace & quiet at long last & looking forward to tomorrow morning where I won't be woken up at first light by that pesky little evil rodent.

Nice one Paul & would have loved to seen your wife doing & saying that to you........lol.

The ginger ones are red squirrels & are no problem at all. In fact the red squirrel is our native squirrel here & they don't bother anyone at all. It's the grey squirrels that are the problem not only here but also in North America as they are classed as vermin both here & in North America. In fact to give you some idea how fast they breed all the ones we have over here are from just 2 pairs which some idiot brought over from North America in the mid 19th century. Grey squirels kill red squirrels & will even eat them but, the good news is that the red squirrels can live in pine forests with ease but the grey squirrels can't because there isn't enough food for them.

I do think your description of them is better as they are tree rats more than anything else.

I was told today by the pest control man that a couple of grey squirrels got into the roof of an office block in Leeds & they managed to chew through most of the wires in the roof. The company has just had a repair bill of nearly £15,000 to rewire the building. I thought the bill for repairing my roof was bad enough.

I thought I would give you all an update on the Revenue & Customs part of my post.

As you can see from when I first posted this it has now been nearly 2 months since I sent them all the information they demanded from me. I haven't heard a damn thing from them since let alone they posting back to me all my bank statements & invoices etc. So, this morning I thought I would give them a ring to find out why it was taking so long & also to see if they did receive all the items they demanded from me. I got Mr Nasty again & he said it will be another 2 to 3 weeks before he gets round to looking at all my items as he is taking his time over every case he is investigating. This is the same Mr Nasty who called me one evening & told me I had 48 hours to send all the items he demanded from me. If I ever come face to face with this person I won't be in business anymore as I don't think you can do dye sublimation from a prison cell.

Just wish I could be rid of him in the same way as I was rid of that damn squirrel..........Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
