ruxy Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW2-WWII-Anderson-Shelter-Rare-Version-/251696842065 Lots of watchers but no bidders (as yet). I think I could find a space for it , somewhere near the compost corner , too good to part-bury , I suppose it should be under a roof to conserve ? as - 75 years old. If it were local to me & the starting money was abt. £50 - I would have a crack at it LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 This my shelter, should I evict the geese & sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Isaac Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 They rot away from the bottom and end up about 3"6` if you`re not careful, this one looks a bit "frilly" at the base. So yes, a bit pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 They are pretty scary without the need for a one-wheeled AFV Tim. They even eat their feed from that steel helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) This my shelter, should I evict the geese & sell it? [ATTACH=CONFIG]98636[/ATTACH] So - has the Mickey Mouse DP washed off after 70 years ? I am coming more towards thinking I am lacking something without one ! I only recall observing them in back gardens whilst on railway journeys , I don't think they can have been in use locally - too rural ?

Degsy Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Doesn't work like that Derek, no point in eating the security guards :-D Very true Clive, I used to keep some. Only trouble was they were completely indiscriminate in who they attacked and I had to keep a wary eye on them at all times.:laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 We did have 20 at one stage, but downsized the flock. But if anyone gets past them then there is the heavy mob, who have insisted on anonymity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
