Well Done,I don't get the Journal (Don't see why i should pay for it when everyone else gets it delivered free ::) )
   I remember when I first moved and was comming home late one night.There was something lying in the road just befor the turning to your rd by the chip shop.At first I thought it was a fox as it seemed pretty big but when I stopped to move it it was a large dead siamese type cat complete with collor.
    I did not want the owner to find it squashed(for want of words)in the road in the morning so I moved it carefully onto the grass bank so they could at least find what had happened.A few days later a gentleman came up to my place with a present and thanked me for moving it as it was their cat.
     By the way off topic....put the billyrag in a lidded jam jar to keep it "fresh"! My boys are very smelly at present its that time of the year!! ;D

so sad  :'(  I hate seeing domestic pets that have been hit or run over.
there's still blood on our road where woody was killed, can't get it off.
will keep billy rag in a jar, thanks for the tip. just got back from DFT - have bought some rhode rocks and goldlines and had a chat about billy - they are so lovely there, my kids adore the place!!

little old man knocked on our door 10.30pm last night to say he'd just knocked down a cat. WOody's brother Bobby, our other kitten it was. He died in Tony's arms minutes later. Really fed up  :'(   lovely man though fo rletting us know. No more cats for us, not while we live on Brands Hatch, or so it seems

Thanks James and Ian. I've just about had it now, feel so low. that's 2 goats and 3 cats gone since May. Now Snowball, (Bobby and Woody's mum) hasnt' come home all day so sleepless night ahead methinks.

She did thank you Hilary'smum, I was really worried yesterday but she did come back and delivered a large, dead rat to my bedroom at 2am (!)  in fact she's just jumped on my lap so is definately hanging around bless her!!  Am feeling a bit better today but the children still very upset. Fortunately Tony has buried Bobby in the garden so today they have been visiting his grave  :'(

Hi everybody,
                 there is a very similar problem to that in a village close to me, the locals have invested in a dummy complete with high viz jacket and black hat and this gets moved about on a regular basis, slows them down quite considerably and they also have a roadside unit that shows the speed, not sure where they acquired it from but it does have a road agency sticker on it.
Maybe worth a try.  :)
