    As a non-Brit, it seems to me that Britain has been the loser in the joining of the EEC.

    Yeah, but just North to where I lived there was quite a lot of cattle and sheep roaming "free" in moorland areas (And sheep have zero traffic sense!) plus deer all over the place in other regions.

    Hang on...I could handle a job like that...filing roo hits...umemployment would hit an all time low
    I could be wrong but I think that sort of relates to poaching, (not boiling eggs) shooting/trapping game. Venison isn't cheap and I suppose it would be easy for someone to say "Honest Gov" I hit it with the bull bar hence no vehicle damage, thats the real reason I have a Deer in the back

    I don't know if it's true but I was told that if you hit a deer in the UK you must leave it where it is.

    Some of you other country pommes might be able to put me right?

    Get quite a few deer hits around here - not sure what they do with the carcases though.
