Travellers in 25 caravans have been evicted from Woollards Field in Falmer so work to move slow worms and lizards off a construction site can proceed.

Good on the council.

If reptiles are the best way of moving travellers on, other councils should think about letting a few 20 foot crocodiles loose on other traveller sites:D .....it's a shame dinosaurs are extinct

Plenty of hiding places amongst all the piles of rubbish ! :rolleyes:

'Travellers' would surely be happier in a 3rd world country....oh silly me, no benefits paid even though you're working, and may even have to pay income tax too...horror of horrors. :NoNo:

Excellent idea - I'll suggest my local authority make a reptile purchase before the next tide of human effluent pitches up. Can you imagine the P1keys cowering in their vans as the killer crocs circle looking for their next meal, shoddy block paving and tree lopping would be unavailable in the area :D
