Hi Jenny,
Seeing as you picked me up some time back for being sexist do you not feel it would be more appropriate to use the term "Person Traps" :wink:

Hmm, having seen all the mechanically minded posts from you Clive, I would think you'd be a shoo in for Wallace; all we need now is a faithful hound... :lol:

Hi Johnboy!
I know you are sexist but don't remember ever having picked you up on it. :? :lol:
I find the name Person Traps to be discriminatory towards all the other creatures that might get caught in them. They should be called Ambulatory Organism Traps.

I've just spoken to Martin, the owner of the onions and he's not had them so we definitely have an onion thief in the area. :(

I'd better start digging the haha this evening.

Yes Piglet I have got a faithful hound but I`m not sure he`ll be a good guard dog - more likely to lick them to death than chase them away :roll: .If the owner of the onions hasn`t got them who has? Sad to think a bunch of onions is worth nicking. I did used to manage a charity shop and people stole from that so I am not surprised really - it does annoy me though :x . Lets hope the thief gets really bad indigestion/dodgy tummy when he/she eats them.

Whent to my local veg in a box shop to offer them some of my surplus veg, Was going to offer them some of my onions but saw they had a boxfull. The lady sheepishly told me they had come from New Zealand.
They did take all the white Duke of yorks I could supply though, they just fly off the shelves up here, my favorite early as well.

Come on Jenny, you must be able to come up with a better acronym than AOT.
If the Army can have a Practice Exercise Not Involving Soldiers, can we have Arbitarily Restricting Snap-on Equipment, or can you do better?
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
