Bastard Badger

In the early hours of this morning, I spent a good few minutes watching the badger that has been defecating on the drive during the last couple of weeks. Despite the fact that I have been clearing up after this beast, watching him run up and down the garden like a shaving brush on amphetamines made be feel well disposed to the thing. This lasted until 8:14am. At that time he officially became bastard badger. This was due to discovering he had managed to cover ever inch of the garden with rubbish.

Given that I do not want to spend every morning sweeping away badger crap and black bagging the dropped spoils of the two-tone menace, I decided to experiment with Surreal Girl’s suggestion that pepper can act as a badger deterrent. If it does not work, there is an escalatory position. However, I am not over keen on going down the route of having to urinate in the garden to scare the bloody thing away.
