Right gents, lets not let this thread descend any further please !!
This is a gentle reminder/warning from the Mods/Andy F.
Most of what can be said, has been said here !! If you have nothing constructive to say then please don't drag things down.

I'm guessing that Andrew is speaking metaphorically !!!!! If you wouldn't be prepared to do it yourself, then don't sign the petitions !!! Applies regarding Otters, Cormorants or whatever !!!
