These cutesy wootsy US imports carry a virus to which they are immune but which has decimated the native red squirrel. They also cause a great deal of carnage among nesting birds by eating their eggs and young, plus as had been said, you wouldn't want them in your loft chomping their way through electrical circuits. Hard to really see an up side to them being introduced into the UK, so maybe the answer is to create a market amongst the trendy Hoxston Hipsters lot for free range squirrel burgers?  If only they could get Nigella Lawson to front it!:P

My Springer has caught a squirrel or two in his time.

I prefer them to the mice in my garage. Hopefully they are not filling my airboxes now

While I was working on the engine I had the exhaust stored under the work bench. Two bolts vanished and could not be found. When it came to fitting the exhaust I found the two bolts and a heap of peanuts stolen from the bird food bin and stored in the exhaust. 10 min of vigorous shaking removed all foreign objects!

In these times of hardship it just seems a pity to waste anything.
