I was visiting a member of our club today who has bought the 'irri tape' out of the BHW. The man is 85 years old and has no access to the internet unfortunately or he may have been able to buy what I have found instead. He paid £24.99 for some thing that cost only a few pounds on Ebay. The man selling this stuff is ripping fanciers off and not for the first time. I really cannot stand conmen hence my post and link.

So BEWARE and dont part with your cash, go onto ebay and save yourself £20. Tell all your friends Shocked

That is why on the instructions he says dont put it infront of the loft. I didn't have the heart to tell the old lad he had been ripped off!

Talking about lights he was advertising wireless lights at £15.99. I thought good idea they would do me so I checked on ebay and got 2 for £3.99 including postage!!

Rip-off! Conman! ...... Twisted Evil

No I haven't bought it and wouldn't. The only deterrent I have is me. If the birds are out, I am out. I don't leave them unattended.
