What is pissing you off this time?

My old Dad (94 next week) is not a fan of squirrels.

He takes great delight in watching the birds, esp the Great Spotted Woodpeckers, which visit the feeders but becomes somewhat animated when squirrels turn up in a raiding party.

He shouts so loudly that I'm surprised that we haven't had complaints from the occupants of the nearby church yard.

I also worry about the ability of the ramshackle conservatory to withstand the noise.

Of course they don't take any notice of him... so he shouts a bit louder... and louder ad infinitum.

One day I shall buy him a solar topee and an elephant gun.
