That looks bloody lovely!

My granny lived with us when I was a kid, she was a country woman so I was eating rabbit as long as I can remember, I had a girl in my class burst into tears when she heard what I had for dinner one night. :rolleyes:

Now't wrong with a bit of rabbit - remember staying with some friends down Somerset way a few years back and we went rabbiting on their farmland with a 12 guage

Bagged a few and his missus cooked them up the next day

Yum yum...:mrgreen:

Appollo, I can absolutely see why you are raging on this one. I would definately get a new lock in place of the one they have a key for. Next time they use that argument, just tell them score and that they may as well chuck their key in the bin.

As for the rabbits, it's going to be a civil matter I guess, so I would tell them that as you believe that the rabbit will be given to an unsuitable home, you are unwilling to give it up and so, if they want it, they will have to take you to a small claims court. Get your wife to make a log of what has been said, when it has been said and keep doing this just in case you need it.

If it does go to this level, which I highly doubt, then there has been a breach of the verbal contract on both sides, starting with theirs, so you should be ok anyway. Your condition was that the rabbits stay with the new owners and go back to you should they be unable to keep them for any length of time. In offering the rabbit promised to them, they are in breach, so you would be seen as being justified. They may just make you pay costs for the "services" of their rabbit as a sire.

This is all guesswork though in what I believe would happen going on what has happened that I know about in equine cases.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

thanks for all your comments folks


I think that Mrs A has got too attached to the babies but I can understand that she wants them to go to a good home so they will be looked after. every day at the moment she has them out the hutch and gives them all cuddles so they are used to being handled.

i cannot change the locks as it is MOD property and too much hassle to get permission.

I do believe it has calmed down now but i'll see when i go home next weekend.

Cool, fingers crossed for you Mate. If nothing else, ask for your key back...if they sy no, get the Sgt. involved, they have no right to keep hold of it, regardless of the situation with the rabbit.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

The problem comes when their is no crime to prove. And that's in England, he wouldn't have been brought to a criminal court for that in Scotland. It would have been dealt with in a civil court. Kinda have to deal with similar everyday dude so have some idea...! ;)

However, that being said....I would have managed to scrape a case for a Breach of the Peace together from all of this.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Go to the Police/MP's and report that the neighbour has your property which was loaned to them (the key) and are refusing to return it after a reasonable request from you.

The fact its a door key SHOULD stop any "but they gave it to me to keep" type dispute.
