There's a dead fox on the grass verge outside my house. Fresh, still in one piece with no guts hanging out.

Should I phone the council to take it away or what?

Any sensible ideas gratefully received

Regards
Maz.

Some time in December there was a dead rat in the cycle lane on Chester road in Stretford, when there was heavy traffic it was hard to avoid it, was very mushy and gross, always managed to avoid it and every day before I set off I would wonder if it would still be there. Guts and fleshy bits are horrible as you wonder if it will flick up off the tires and get you in the face.

Well in the olden days you could of cut off its tail and taken it to the police station to collect a reward... or so my Mum told me (and if it was really smelly they would tell you to take it away so you could try the same trick at the next station).

If it's that fresh you could always get your frying pan out. No sense letting good protein go to waste...:biggrin:
Agreed.
Is it the season for drinking Meths with Fox?
Maybe a hat with matching muff (paging Fnaar) with the skin?

Wonder how it died?
Roadkill.

I just left a message on the council's answerphone.

My wife just told me that a driver stopped to pick the poor fox off the road to put it on the grass. He then lost his car keys! Starts turning the fox over in case they were under the dead animal! Ends up keyless, pushing his car to the side of the road!! :biggrin:
