Best wishes to all our sheep meat customers (that pay).......

I do hope the CPS take it seriously and the police manage to round up the rest of the gang. I caught three blokes who had stolen about five ton of firewood and they would not prosecute, I was bloody furious and complained but to no avail

A bloke in the next village to me, who to be fair has a reputation for being a bit mad, told me that he had had several loads of chopped logs nicked. So he drilled a load of holes in some logs and put a .22 bullet in each log and filled the hole. He said after they had taken that lot he never had a problem again.

A sheep was witnessed being stolen last night from the banks of Ladybower resivour. Thanks to the power of social media and our rural communities, the sheep was located 10 miles away in the Wincobank area of sheffield. It has been safely returned to its owners field. Enquires well on their way with catching those responsible for the theft.


Apparently the bloke who stole it, to have it for Eid, posted his picture with it on Facebook:facepalm::banghead:
I think,even our local police force. might have been able to solve that one:wideyed:

:mad:

EDIT.. I'm informed he put it on Twitter and not Facebook and then it found it's way to FB
 
Now one is caught, I hope the police can dig deeper and and get the rest of the gang nicked and haul them through the courts. @yellowbelly

A few days ago remains were dumped in a country lane a few miles from me near Great Dunmow Essex. To my knowledge no one local had lost any livestock. Although I did hear that ewes and lambs were stolen near Hadleigh Suffolk about 40 miles away.

what made me so angry, was i had two jobsworths from our local council turn up at my office,( the ones with identity pics tyed round their necks,) apparently our neighbour had complained about some overhanging branches, had a heated argument with them, a got a letter the next day about the overhanging branches and the danger and risk it posed to our neighbour? Surely in the case of the pic of outside slaughter place being carried on in garden of flat the jobsworth should be on it like a flash, whats the betting its council rented flat? Also wheres the RSPCA in all this, my mother has them phone her up at night wanting donations? Angry man Rant Over

We've got a few pictures like that - unfortunately we know whose sheep they are :grumpy:

Well, I'd have thought so too. Can't really say anything much at the moment, but the police are hardly covering themselves in glory :inpain:
