They also like shiny things and will steal jewellery and stuff given half the chance.

Yes I remember the 'one for sorrow...' rhyme.

Anyone old enough to remember 'Magpie' the kids' TV programme?

(you started this Breezer!). ;)

That’s the country folk for you, same for foxes, everything or anything wild seems fair game for sport hobby or they just because they don’t like it.

Wasn't it a saturday morning type program?

Use to be on twice on week days, an alternative to Blue Peter! It was bit ‘cooler’ than BP

Magpie was the cool kid’s equivalent to Tiswas and Blue Peter was for the Swap Shop kid’s! But I must admit I use to watch all of them
