Hey Nigel - I've met quite a few elderly folk in my time and I'll tell you something, they're a damn-sight less frightened of rodents than you seem to be!

Elizabeth - I spoke to the old man at the weekend and mentioned your 'experiences' to him. He said he could be coaxed out of retirement if you promise him a cup of tea! I'd ignore him if I were you - he can barely catch a cold.
