kiz 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) In the 70's every now and again Poddy the Poacher would turn up in the paper. The incident I can rememember best was when he nailed his ear (still attached to hs head) to a tree in protest, I think, to do with him being fined for taking badgers. He also climbed on the roof of Shrewsbury jail dresssed as santa with the intention of giving prezzies to the prisoners. Anyone else remember any of his escapades and also was he any good as a poacher? Edited November 25, 2009 by kiz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rex 8 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hahaha Poddy the Poacher, a old guy at work has told me loads of tales about this crazy bloke and I never really believed him, but looks like he was telling the truth, he also told me the story about the nail through his ear!
