Run a piece of wire or heavy fishing line a couple of inches above your fence panels (hammer a few long nails in and wrap the wire around them). Cats don’t seem to like tightrope walking. Carpet gripper rod along the top of the fence does the same job but might be considered a little cruel (keeps thieving barstewards out too if you place it along the inside top edge where they can’t see it).

One can’t do the carpet gripper unless you put a sign up saying “This fence has carpet gripper with sharp nails in it”. The scumbags may cut themselves you see. That’s why you no longer see wall with broken glass sticking out of the top.

Wire on fence, may try that. Unfortunately, the end and one long side is bordered with Box Private, the cats get through that. It has a wire fence near the bottom, and Rose bush stem cuttings sticking into any gaps….but they still get through.

I can agree to that, but you have not qualified how you are able to refute my statements.

Well, I’m appalled at the Anti Union stuff on here. Without the activity of the unions you would not be salaried at 35 or 37 hours, it wouldn’t be as safe to work as it is now etc. etc. etc.

Unions have come a long LONG way since Red Robbo at British Leyland, yes…they were over the top. Unions these days fully assist in the changing of a company, assist (At last resort) in redundancy criteria etc. The best way for a company to change is by listening to the ideas of the workforce – they know where all the waste is, what can be done about it. Sitting on ones ar5e, shining ones pants in a warm office is for admin only. True managers “Walk the boards” daily. And to get the workforce totally behind you is to get the TU involved all the way. Strike action is the very last resort and in my experience it has come about because of the stupidity and crass ignorance of the company management. (I am a company Manager by the way.)

EVERYBODY knows that a strike would do a great deal of damage to BA and indeed probable job losses. The vote was 9-1 FFS. Do you think BA cabin staff are ignorant and thick? I don’t, I put my potential rescue / safe egress by them when I fly.

The Royal Mail is trying to change, every company needs to change or die. But some of the changes are actually physically impossible to achieve. Not only that, how would you like to take a 35% drop in pay in order to “Change”.

Arthur Scargill was 100% correct in that he was warning what the plans of the NCB and the Thatcher Gov’t were fully intent on doing. His biggest mistake was avoiding a National Ballot, thus creating a division within the ranks.

Happy Hanukkah!

It started in the 70’s on the ITN. They copied the US method. The female used to do the “Dead Donkey” type of news, or the useless anecdotal items of a slight passing interest.
BBC always had a female on the Weekend shift, what was she called…black lass? But she was on her own.

Why, they even have a female football pundit these days. Good job she’s a stunner.

Of course, and no doubt these scumbags know that is the attitude of store managers and owners – that’s why they are so bold as to attempt such thefts brazenly.

Cash in transit staff are told to just hand over the money and not to attempt to foil the robbers. But sometimes they get seriously injured doing just that.

When the courts start handing down some serious sentences for these crimes instead of x numbers of hours doing ‘community service’ then these scrotes might just think twice about nicking stuff.

I’d bring back public birching or stocks – let them suffer a few days sat in their own faeces and urine in public along with some rotten fruit and veg to consider their chosen path in life….

…..or maybe we should copy Vlad III’s tactics. Do ’em all on Christmas Eve, or even better we could make an alternative Easter :-).

I’ve had many a good holiday off Teletext.
Not used it for donkey’s years though, so I won’t miss it.
