Do you have any TCP? I use it for everything from sore throats to spots to scratches. It's a miracle in a bottle!

Some people, mainly men although I've no evidence, seem to feel defined by working. I meet a lot of men who, once they retire, can't find a purpose in life. They seem to wither away and die almost as soon as they get their pension. Don't appear to have a friends network.

Someone from our local fire station started producing pin badges with a local theme a few years ago. So popular they now sell worldwide. 100% of purchase price goes to RBL. Last year over £40,000.

They haven't got a good side. They're all thieves and opportunists who take what you give them then go and eat all the sparrow and tit eggs!

Not only that. Because the health service is struggling, if you get a serious problem, you're unlikely to be deemed fit enough to work till you're 70. I was lucky to be self-employed so no one could see how old I was or how much work I managed. Earnings weren't brilliant but survivable.

Many hedgehogs, seeking the warmth of a compost bin, die this way every year.
Once you've used the pumpkin as decoration it's waste, fit only for the bin.

Please DO NOT compost them either, as a composting pumpkin can produce highly toxic tremorgenic mycotoxins, which will be deadly if the compost bin is not properly secured and is accessible to wildlife (or pets).

Pumpkin has a laxative affect so it would be particularly cruel to leave it out for starving wildlife to eat in desperation, causing them to lose precious fluids that may make the difference between life and death.

Our precious wildlife do not have any magical properties that protect them against food poisoning.
Additionally, this time of year there are baby hedgehogs around, born too late to find natural food, desperate to eat anything to stop the pain of starvation.

Please DO NOT put it out for the wildlife.
Once you've cut it, left it out in the open, unrefrigerated, it will not be hygienic or safe for anyone to eat.
Pumpkins are a low-acid, so once they are cut and left at room temperature, pathogens will rapidly grow on the flesh, producing mould spores.
