Ah, a beefly, thanks folks.:) The white blob gives the impression of being an egg protection device but I didn't want to destroy it to find out.

On a birch tree, about the size of half a pingpong ball, soft like a marshmallow. And what's this wee beastie with the looong nose?

Just this morning there was a Tory guy on Today (R4) who stated unequivocally that they will have a zero tolerance to carrying a knife in public. No mention of s139, or type, or need, just "there is no reason for anyone to carry a knife on our streets"

Best not to forget the very real risk of skin cancer.:(

Our biggest problem as I see it, is that more of the population live in cities now than in the country. Also, most of our legislators live in cities where having a robust knife about your person is seldom necessary.:(

Exactly.:)

Nice idea and I like the waistcoat, is it home made? I'd have thought that apple wood would be really tough as they use it as "teeth" in the cogs of wind mills.

To me, the pollution that harms people directly is a damn site worse than the stuff in the upper atmosphere. SO2 and micro particles play merry hell with the respiratory systems of air breathing mammals; this is much more immediately damaging than global warming.

Rough oil combustion shoves much out more SO2 and micro particles than aviation fuel, so it's more qualitatively polluting.:eek:

The Evil Ones aitn't stoopid: they will have stopped whatever it is they're doing so that we don't notice.:D
