    [​IMG] Have no Idea about the jockey myself Pal, think that is more rosa's thing.. I heard a similar superstition as a kid Pal.. Did the game keepers hang the dead birds from the fences or a particular tree? They did on the farms round where I spent my childhood.... Don't seem to see much of that round here now.. [​IMG]

    :rolleyes: :D Welll I know you all think differently from me, but I have a real fascination for stuffed wildlife...! [​IMG] Not pets or the like though...!
    :D You know the old western star Roy Rogers had his horse "Trigger" from his movies stuffed & kept it in his house.. :D

    Marley, they used to call it a gamekeepers giblet.

    These days its frowned upon as confrontational what with the 'anti' movment.

    [​IMG] I knew there would be a name for it Pro-gard.. Thanks for that... I did wonder if it was anything to do with the "anti this & that lobby" as to why it wasn't seen much now... Plus of course there are not so many game keepers now either!! :(

    The motto of my school was "Renovate Animos" I used to say to anyone who asked that it meant "Stuff the Animals".

    Any truth in the rumour that in Wales you're now singing - "I know I'll always find another ewe"
    :D ;)

    Not just a glazier y'know..Yesterday and today I was in Gloucester painting this repaired shop front. My mate did the inside and I did the outside. You can see him on the steps...His nickname is 'Rapid'.. [​IMG] Notice that I've finished my bit! :D

    See the Butchers sign next door?...I took their offer and bought 3lbs of Gammon for a fiver and 5lbs of Scotch Top Roll Steaks for a tenner.
