Perhaps instead of just destroying the cache we should leave a card stating why we have done it and suggest that in the future they hide them in thier back gardens...and see how they like having thier weekend BBQs spoilt by strange familys turning up digging up the flower bed?
Some of them have actually done this, or as near to it as possible as one of the "rules" says that it should be publicly accessible. I remember one person having one in the field at the back of his house, so he could be entertained by the antics of people trying to find the boxful of shit. Mr H
This is another interesting thing- the National Trust and some local councils have an agreement between one of the factions (and there are a few warring types) that allows this to go onto their land as long as certain rules are followed. This is impossible to police so lots of forum discussions are about respecting rules so that the practise is still allowed.
Don't forget there have been BBC programmes actively encouraging this so-called "sport" and when TMA-types have ptrotested on the website or through email we (OK me) got accused of having "our own agenda". NO SHIT!!
