   XR500 liked post by OPO On thread : Autumn. Time to check vehicles for mice and rats

   much as i'm not a fan of felines we've got a demon one here and as the rat/mouse or even starling season approaches i park machinery near the house and so far not a nest anywhere (touch wood)

   Pengy liked post by OPO On thread : Coastguard - Yes. VHF & Day Skipper - Maybe????
