Mind-set

What do you do with someone who-
Hates sparrowhawks because they eat sparrows
Hates slugs because they eat his foreign flowers
Hates foxes because they should know better and live in the countryside
Hates long grass because it looks messy
Hates weeds because they grow where they like
Hates dry weather because it withers his lawn
Hates starlings because they eat the bird seed
Hates Grass Snakes because they get in his pond
Hates daisies because they spoil the look of his lawn
Hates sheds because foxes dig under them
Hates mess because it attracts mice
Hates rats because they are filthy
Hates green fly because it spoils his roses
Hates everything that HE hasn't given permission to go into his garden?

I could go on. What a sad person.

Re: Mind-set

Even though he doesn't like Starlings, at least he is feeding the birds.....which is a starting point.

Sounds like this person needs to start living in the real world but y'know, they're everywhere these people aren't they.

Try educating them .... but it sounds like this may be a challenge too far even for you Julie.

How depressing!

Re: Mind-set

Try a whole bunch of them setting up as a 'conservation' group to stop heathland restoration because we're going to use "chemicals" to control the bracken and shock, horror we plan to cut down a tree!!!.

(Sigh)
