You know its late here but I might as well carry on.
Where to next,mmhm

Glen Affric--Beauty spot No.5 in Highlands

History---150 years as Highland Deer Forest
Sold mid ninties by Weatherspoons
to SNH
SNH reason---To save the population of Crossbills
and ancient Cally Forrest that existed upon
the islands of Loch Affric(Taxpayer money)
SNH arrival---Enquiry to retired Stalker with delight that they had
seen Pine Martins,Stalker told them that they would need to watch out
for their Crossbills,with the Martins-curt repely- they are protected.

Result---CROSSBILLS MASSACARED

Oh christ I could go on all night,it is PATHETIC the way these
agencies conduct themselves,but all of you remember that right now SNH
is undergoing a REVIEW--How much taxpayers lolly there to grab.
