"Not my job Guv. You need the bloke with the badger removal spade and the badger removal qualifications for that one."

The county council said there would be no extra cost to taxpayers because the company was being paid a fixed rate for the job.

That's because they're being paid plenty enough to start with to allow for looooong tea-breaks and return visits etc etc; (and that isn't costing the tax payer too much?)


Maybe they thought the triple white lines on the badger would do the job for them in the meantime ...

They just need someone with the appropriate badges to do it.

The dead Badger I pass on the way into work on a morning has now had a very short haircut, after the grass verge was cut this week, they also "rolled" it so now like a very large hedgehog.
it has given the flies better access though,
Oh the sweet smell of summer.

Plus 3 blokes in high visibility jackets standing around watching & 2 more to operate the stop/start signs, all on overtime, double bubble on a Friday night during rush hour. :eek!:

At least this Pine Marten had the common decency to wait until the lines had been painted before getting bludgeoned to save on rate payers' money...

To be fair to them, I wouldn't fancy shovelling a rotting badger off the road either. And that guy that drove past it every day for a week obviously didn't think it was his job. Presumably it is his job to pick up the phone to the BBC.

Frankly, wildlife protection law got so extensive, that I met people overreacting - just believing that any wild animal is probably strictly protected and you get a huge fine for touching it.

Give me a shovel. I'll shift the bugger for them.

Would have never happened here in South East Asia. Not because of better work ethics (though they do have them), but because the work crew would have removed it on day one and eaten it
