Think you mean Tally Ho Back?? pronounced Bike.
Which means a fox has gone back into cover so would only be said pre ban or could be used now to let the Huntsman now that the fox has gone back in so he is safe to proceed forward!!

It is more a case of Tally Ho, Oh No....

Now that the days of the Hunting Fraternity are numbered. It brings a tear to one's eye doesn't it?

Regards

Tally Ho, Oh No!!!!!

I think you will find that the Dome - or 02 as it is known locally, is very successful. A good selection of restaurants and bars, a cinema and concert arena. That is due to the good sense of this Government to sell it on - and we still get a cut of the profits in order to cover previous costs!

You may be a civil servant LB, let's hope it's not in the Treasury.

The Dome cost at the very least £750 million to build. How many years 'cut of the profits' will it take to pay that off?

At the risk of being tedious and replying to my own post ....

"The government expects the deal struck between English Partnerships and Meridian to net the lottery £70 million over 20 years, in the form of a 13 per cent share"

Remember the lottery put in £630 million. Are there any sales proceeds from the Dome being 'sold'? I couldn't find any.

Fantasy figures indeed, but never mind it's only the taxpayers' money. Our Cash for Honours friend MUST work for the Treasury.

Your bloody lot sold it for a quid. :grin: So much for good sense.

Care to name who pocketed the bung?

Soggy Brain,

The Government have acted in the best interests of Greenwich and the country as a whole. As we know, the Dome was infact a Tory project and when we gained power in 1997, Tony had a choice - go with it - or abandon it and consider something new.

The Cabinet decided that the Dome was the best idea on the table (even if Mr. Blair announced that decision whilst they were still around the Cabinet table talking about it!) and believed it would generate further prosperity in Greenwich and the surrounding areas, such as mine in Blackheath. It is veyr popular there now. I have been on several occasions and you can barely move at times for the crowds.

Regards

Of you're been there. I hear that you have a regular spot on a particular bench and go by the name of Margaret.

I don't think the resident foxes down at Clapham would offer much sport. Too full of McDonalds throw-a-ways and infected with mange.

LOLOL! ROTFLMAO!!!!

Thatcher or Beckett?

There are many organisations working to help and treat Foxes that are infected with mange or similar illnesses. If you do see any the next time you are down there, I suggest you contact the Fox Project.

Placing snares around your site for Foxes and other wildlife to stumble into is an entirely different kind of treatment. Snares are quite barbaric by their very nature, but then as we know, the nature of the beast never changes.

But Hymie

Its your much beloved political heroes that have insisted that we use snares. LMAO

I treat all foxes exactly the same way be they infected with mange or not.

I send them to that foxy heaven in the ground. :))

Soggy Brain and Wurzel,

It is not standard advice that farmers use Snares. Snaring should be banned entirely. What right do you have to trap, injure and kill our wildlife, you beasts.
