No Mick, I think he wanted to poison the pigeons in the park !

Looks like the duck pond is occupied by the pigeons and the ducks have 'flown'! Where are the ducks?

Mick.He may have been a Fancier, but certainly not when they were in the Park. Look up his very funny song "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". The man is a genius, literally as he was a Maths Professor as well. He is still with us but more or less gave up up his hilarious musical career in the 1970's because real life had got beyond parody. I'm not sure it's got any better.

Well I have seen it all,they are nothing but pigeon squatters - they must think they're ducks - they'll be paddling next!

I can't help being reminded of Pte. Joe Walker's escapade in the Dad's Army episode Getting the Bird.
