I met him at Lowther Show about 78? Told him I'd got his latest book he was selling, he blanked me cos there was someone else there who was a potential purchaser of the book.

Could tell a tale and certainly entertained and enthused me.

Cheers, D.

I made quite a bit of money from fox,s back in the day selling pelts to cobbledicks in Cornwall and tracking collars and ear tags to the university, but I never sold a single flox to the Chinese as he claimed though they did buy plenty of fish that used to cover the cost of a boat trip

was another a film a way out of Walsall cant find it though ...

I remember it, about mentoring the boxer cord well hylton who later went on to kidnap his own wife and served time. I went to the school plummer taught in for a talk about rats hosted by plummer and hancock years back when I was around 15.

Chinese don't buy foxes, UK Chinese at any rate, but it made a good tale same as the urban legend of the dog microchip in a takeaway that surfaces every couple of years.

I like the bit on the Caithness documentary where he is saying about the dangers of Weils disease from rats, and the interviewer asks him if he knows anyone that's died from it, after an awkward silence he says 'Yes, 3 close friends, can tell from the look on his face he doesn't even believe the lie he's telling himself. Gave me a chuckle.

My area its some guy bites down on a bit of plastic in his chow-mein and trading standards analyse it, belonged to a black lab/Jack russell/Staffy depending who is telling the tale, the Chinese take-away is always closed down and they leave the area.

I'm talking about Plummer the pro-boxer.

I remember his The City breeds culture, the desert breeds men line, rat hunting man I think? I found a load of discrepancies in his books as I got older BUT I bought every one as soon as they came out as a kid or nicked them from the library, and he did once claim his books were the most nicked on library shelves

We were young, impoverished, and desperate, shoplifting was a crime librarylifting wasn't, I no longer lose sleep over it

I used to have my card but i never took the books back, I'd then try and rejoin the library a few months later when the dust had settled.

I was more a full on blatant theft, no panic, easy does it, straight into my school rucksack and nonchalant saunter out of the door with my prize, plummer would turn in his grave at all the lost sales and royalties
