We buy Lion Poo from Paignton Zoo to keep the visiting cats from crapping in the flower beds, it works quite well too. The roses love it.

In my unruly youth when scuffling with The Establishment outside the American Embassy in Grovesnor Square to register my disapproval of the Vietnam thing .... the word was that Lion Poo was just the thing for keeping the Police Horses at bay without harm (to either of us .... I can confirm they are a seriously unsettling thing to be on the receiving end of in a ruck!! .... the impression they made has resulted in a lifelong love and respect for horses that still has me riding and owning them when that particular 'cause' is now ancient history!🙂) K ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/03/19/20210319_132841.jpg) My current Boy .... of course all the above is pretty useless to you unless your motorhome becomes infested with Shetland Ponies 🙂

He is very beautiful. What is his breeding - looks like he could be Irish Draught cross perhaps?

It's a great mix ...... fast, sturdy and good jumpers .... my Boys live out (with a good shelter and suitable rugs) .... so he's currently pretty woolly ..... couple of months and he'll be like a big shiny conker.
Lovely horse!

Thank you. That picture was taken in October soon after first clip. He is starting to get a real summer coat shine on the clipped bits.
They have a wonderful attitude and he loves his jumping.

This was my little girl (the lady in the photo is a smidge under 6ft). Gave her to a mate in Wales to look after her when I left work and couldn't afford to keep her. Still have one of her (very large) shoes on the wall in the garden. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/03/19/323394_10150911542630034_174595130_o.md.jpg)

As I was getting the MGB ready for sale I found a rear light not working. On opening the boot I discovered a pair of eyes looking up at me before it ran off into the wheel well. A couple of traps sorted that out within an hour (no more overnight so hope that was it.) However on inspecting the Morgan this morning I found evidence of mice activity there as well (a chewed up towel). So traps moved over to there. I'm currently prep'ing the car for paint so it's not been used over the winter. I've had classic cars for 15 years or more and never had mice problems before. My wife has a manic fear of mice so I have been instructed to go over our motorhome with a fine tooth comb before we use it next month. Any suggestions of mice deterrents? Moth Balls.

In my student days I built an 'electric' mouse trap. A sheet of cardboard with strands of bare wire streched across it alternatively connected to the mains, L N L N etc. This was drawing pinned to the floor where I had seen them running under a door. I settled down to a bit of quiet studying only to be interrupted by a bit of squealing. Imagine my
amaizment when I saw a mouse jumping/ dancing across the wires to vocal accompanyment and running off. I presume it was just a bit shocking rather than lethal due to a lack of earth wires. The 'Little Nipler' got him a few days later. 🧀🐁

How do you open the boot?
