That Rubbish

Dear Editors,

We were stunned to read about all the rubbish Mark Lewinski counted on the Burwell Road (November Crier). Did he pick it up?

Mystery Object Identified

Dear Editor,

I was reading the Crier Vol 30 No 11, and see the mystery object item on page 11. The answer you are looking for is Pigeon Proof Spikes, also known as P4 Plastic or P4 Metal. These can be installed with either screws or Fixall Silicone all weather.

As used by myself and many people in the Pest control Services for prevention against birds, e.g. Pigeons, Gulls, Doves etc, to stop them from roosting or landing for a rest on window ledges, walls or steel beams etc.

The main problem is the mess the birds leave behind and the droppings pigeons leave behind deteriorates brick work and other items. Bird fowling from pigeons can be potently lethal with al the bacteria they carry, known as the Flying Rat!!

If used successfully they work well or in conjunction with other bird proofing items.

Many thanks

Repaint Ye.. ..

Dear Editors,

The folk of Prior hurry by

Their eyes fixed on the wintery sky,

Their sensibilities abused,

Their facers sternly unamused

"What use is puce?" they seem to say,

"What's wrong with cream and beige and grey?"

We love our gentle village street

The quiet tones, restrained, discrete,

Who didn't think that pink and brown,

Might drag our cheery spirits down?

So listen, please, to our complaint

And - is it too late to repaint?
