Title: Gift horses
Post by: Nick on May 08, 2008, 11:14:05 AM: So we are plagued by mosquitoes here. Vicious buggers. Nasty biting.

So the council calls me and offers me a mosquito trap as part of an "experiment". If successful it will rid our garden of mosquitoes. rubschin:

It's GAS POWERED!! scared2:

What should I do?

I live on an "unadopted" road (Snoopy will confirm- potholes that would not look out of place on the lunar surface). No tarmac, unless we club together, and no street lights. Do I get a council tax discount? Well? Do I?

No. evil:

If they want my mosquitoes Emma wil have to pay! evil:
