rosspti 2 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 What an absolute legend! I love that vid. I live in Cornwall so the accents are a little different to "across the water" in Devon, but still similar. I love the chance to chat to old-timers like that. My favourite bit is when he chops the rabbit and then asks it "whaddy say?" The best thing is that if you actually listen to what he says, hes 110% bloody right! Like my old boss used to say, "there's pretty many up the churchyard that wish they could come and work all day". Never forget it!!! Quote Link to post

langouroux 14 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 this is me and gerald out on the the bodmin moors north cornwall. i think he was 85 here, smokes a pipe like a chimney, creaks and moans a lot, but he still shifts when they bolt! i saw him dive like a goal keeper, for a rabbit trying to get out of the purse net this day! he has made his whole living from rabbit / pest control. this is a pic of a few we got that morning. i think we counted 19 for the day in the end.
