    Re: Lombard rally rac bath 2018 event

    Chris, a couple of years ago, one of your squatters relatives made its home in the 'V' of the engine of the Stag over the winter, so the following year I put a trap there bated with a bit of Mars bar, the theory being, as with the consistency of a Rolo, that it sticks particularly well to the spikes on the trap, and the little b-----s can't knock it off before bingo, got it.

    When I went to open it up in the spring, we found this very stiff, very dead, object with no further evidence!! mind you I think it sent its freinds to lodge in the Fuse box of my Citreon C5. It was jammed packed with Ash seeds, and it had just been serviced!!! Perhaps they never lifted the bonnet?

    Thanks Robin,

    I thought you were going to say that you forgot about the trap in the 'V' and ended up with roast mouse?
    The sticky type of chocolate product makes sense now, I understand.

    I've got the ex Tom Ransom Allora twin cam here under a couple of sheets in a nice dry (indoors) place.
    A mouse (probably the same one) had made a hole in the sheets and stashed the space between the cam covers with sycamore seeds.
    I carefully hoovered the seeds out and packed the space so that nothing could get in. The mouse hasn't been back.
    I really need to get rid of it though, it'll be one of my brother's cars wiring looms next?
