Large Mouse if that's a mouse trap I think - The mice I have vary in size. If that's a baby rat I could have them too - but I've always only had mice.


I caught one like that today (it got caught alive by the tail and was squealing) - I was so close to throwing it over the balcony (probably illegal I'd think) - but freed it and it ended up running away along the balconies of my neighbours.


Never thought what to do when they're alive in a trap.

The turds don?t always give it away. I once found what I was expecting to be cat muck in the garden, and after further investigation Mr Louisa discovered a badger late one evening. Must be rare in London, never seen one myself before or since. The poo doesn?t always drop the guise of the perpetrator though.

You know what, the ?1 p?t? from Iceland was always a family favourite. Haven?t had so much as a sniff of the stuff since it turned into M&S. The M&S p?t? is over-engineered with parsley and posh black pepper, not for me at all.

I used Maple Syrup the other day for one that I couldn't catch with peanut butter - I saw the mouse licking it's whiskers after licking it up before getting caught when it came back for more later.

    • There is a reason why I think only England and Chile (no idea why) have a fully privatised national water set-up, and why the UN recognises the right to water as a human right - "the right to water entitles everyone to have access to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible, and affordable water for personal and domestic use".   Whoever is running pension funds should be shifting sharply, if they haven't done so already (and I'm sure they haven't for the most part).
    • I’d have gone for ‘scorned’. 
    • I thought you would be proud of the Royal longevity and current ongoing links? being that your username was be-stowed upon him by the Anglo-Saxon royalty! 
    • Think I've likely over/misinterpreted this, but the line on " proud British person.. what side of the fence" struck me as a bit odd in relation to the Royal Family (or was it just the word Royal?). Whatever perspective you have on monarchy, I would have thought being skeptical/cynical about having our Royal Family in its current state is a perfectly legitimate "proud British" stance to have - all that taxpayers' money, profiting from our crumbling NHS, plus the challenge to proud democratic (waves around Magna Carta with patriotic pride/naivieté) norms like transparency and equality under the law..   On the post boxes themselves, afraid my own old-fashioned and nostalgic instincts kick in - I rather like them as one of our nation's benign historical legacies/quirks, without interpreting them as royalist bastions. I'll keep an eye out, just like I did for the Olympic gold ones.
