None got enough and don't want to be tempted. Paul

Use Naturaline as for collecting nettles & Dandelions and boiling and such No just buy the tea bags from health shop much easier, use them all pigeons look good and win so I will carry on using them. Paul

Try The National Farmers Union, we insure clocks and club property with them, but we don't own building. Paul

His UK agent is Derek Rooney from Warrington. Paul

John, Look on RPRA website, young fancier of the month he mentions him. Paul

I have 2 Toulet clocks A0298 and a 5 figure one, not sure of number its in the garage, if anyone wants them for posterity they are free of charge, I could take to Blackpool to save carriage. Paul

How many do you want? Paul

You don't boil it, put it in a bottle and boil the water let it go off boil and then add the water then put in drinker and top up, some just put garlic cloves in the drinker and leave them in just changing every so often. Paul

Don't forget you will have to transfer all your birds back into your name, will cost you £3-50 they get you either way. Paul

Davy, You will be very lucky to get any now its been banned for a couple of years now, its a thing called Creosote substitute now. Paul

Time they were destined for the cupboard or bin whichever you prefer. Paul

Don't really give atoss going out.

Actually they do not belong to the club, they are on loan,if you read the package it says that if the club folds they should be returned to the grant organisation and they will distribute them to another club. Paul

Thanx all for your kind words. Paul

It is my sad duty to inform the fancy of the death of my father in law & friend Tony Hall of Wigan, although Tony raced pigeons on and off over the years and won he was better known for his loft building ability and most fanciers in this area have probably had a loft built by him over the years. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer a couple of months ago. Paul

I prefer the Hession and Pallatt lines myself but each to his own, have been told to cross the Mardens into other lines of the Van Reets but I havent tried it yet, was told by a fancier that when they got them they couldn't fly round the loft but as soon as he crossed them they really took off and have won ever since so maybe its time to try it. Having said that I have acquired some more. Paul

Sorry Tony costs money not much chance of that, now if they want to put officials in the top hotels in Blackpool thats ok Paul

I have seen very few recommendations for vets from pigeon men, most get their stuff under the counter or from people who have been to Belgium or from the net the only decent ones are the ones who are fanciers thereselves but the cost is still out of reach of some fanciers, especially with all the things that are being treated for, people are giving this that and the other from various sources and we end up with the breakdown of pigeons immune systems and massive losses, a lot of birds have no immune system any more when they are out they pick up everything and don't survive. Paul

I agee in principle old yellow but Gary has never let me down, everything is done on a screen for you to see, however there are very few vets that know anything about pigeons, when Lizzy came on the scene I thought at last someone who knows but after spending hard earned cash, she told me zilch and just gave me baytril because she admitted she did not know what it was and Baytril clears most things, these are vets we can do without, also Gary has been in pigeons a long time and knows what he is on about, he took over from Ray Ingram and had a long apprenticeship with Ray, about 20 years I believe. So if the choice is Gary or Vets like Lizzy its Gary every time for me. Paul

Seem to Mark, the stuff as I said is water resistant not waterproof though. Droppings seem to dry up. Paul

Gary Spavin is your man, his charges last year were, £2 per droppings sample and £3 per swab, top man. I would definately not recommend Lizzy Rigby, unless you want to know what you haven't got not what you have got. Paul

Mark, The stuff you are on about is water resistant bathroom stuff, I have it on the floors of all my lofts but it is not neccesarily green anymore, the last lot I got just looked like normal chipboard and the stuff before had a brown tint to it, most wood suppliers stock it. Paul

Van Reets

She has not got a clue who did this its only her opinion, no proof whatsoever and it just blackens the name of the sport again, she should get facts before spouting her mouth on television, if it was fanciers and she can prove it then do something about it. Paul
