PWA 1967 Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Believe me...we had one in our garden not long ago only a young one. Must of come in why the electric gates were open,a lovely animal and i was concerned as it was getting anxious trying to get out. Nice to see in the wild in manchester ...... Quote
copper123 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Posted October 23, 2016 well not really wild in manchester - its at dunham massey, an enclosed park - I do know the odd one or two goes missing but not at this time of the year -its the rut - they have other things on their mind besides escapeing at the moment.

Mention of haciendas always reminds me of that film "Lone Wolf McQuade" when David Carradine says "Welcome to my hacienda, Mr McQuade" to Chuck Norris, before they had their martial arts fight. Quote

Nice to see them. As you know Rob its pretty quiet were we are and seen a couple. but still strange to have one in your garden Quote
jelida Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 We don't get them in my part of South Wales. Or if we do, they don't get past the council estate up the road ?. But the nicest steak I ever had was from a couple of kilo of venison I was given by a patient a few years ago. Jerry Quote

Although i am not adverse to killing things i definately could not kill a deer Bit contradictory.....but a lovely animal and especially nice to see in the wild. I must have a soft part to me Hope you were not treating him for being a random nutcase Jerry Quote

Not a bad city to be a student in, though I try to avoid the 'skull attack' these days! Purchased my first pennies while in Cardiff, from an elderly dealer called Frank Webster, long dead now I am sure. Still got them. Jerry Quote

Jerry Yes, Roath was kind of like bed and breakfast land, lots of students. My friend and i had an interesting evening down Cardiff queen street, after an evening at the disco we went into a 24hr McDonalds where the locals thought we were English, (we had 1 English guy with us, we both spoke broad Scots dialect) needless to say it didn't end well, some severely battered Welsh pride that night, i got home at 6am, my buddy came home at 8am with a broken finger, the English guy who had 2 teeth missing from the evenings entertainment Quote
1949threepence Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Many years ago myself and a couple of mates toured Wales in my mate's clapped out old van. We found the South of Wales very friendly, but it was a different story further North, and we got a distinct air of hostility at times. In particular one pub in Gwynedd, where it was 100% Welsh speaking, and we got served by very surly bar staff who deliberately kept us waiting. We couldn't understand what the group of youths on the next table were saying, whilst they were staring at us and laughing, but we did hear the expression "English twats" and decided to leave rather than rise to the bait.

Rob Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 One group was headed up valley from the fishpond below Phillips park towards the motorway roundabout. They could use the bridge over to the rugby club. By the time they get to the school it isn't a million miles away Quote
Peter Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 northern deer is tougher than a Manc on special brew.Avoid if possible. 1 Quote
