Wait til they've gone to bed, all of them, then just a half pint of petrol and the fumes will kill them. No flames, no risk.

If the man fails to show up.

If anyone sees you, just mutter something about the bloody nest not starting and have they got any jump leads.

I could go at it with the blow-torch, actually. That might be fun.

Did that once. I broke Bolt's 100m record.

I have solved it!

I rang the Chair of the Cricket Club, because it's the bank beside the cricket pitch. He referred me to the land-owner, which is a Trust. To find the number of the Trust, I spoke to the Clerk of the Parish Council. He spoke to the head of the Trust, who has delegated it to the chap who does that sort of thing for them, who happens to be the Chair of the Cricket Club and who will come down tonight to sort it out.

I am having a cup of tea.

You've got to love local politics.
