09:00	Blind in left eye. Found by IW and JB. When I returned at 12.00, a local resident was walking around the G.P. with his 2 kids and had flushed everything. When confronted, he said he knew it was private property and that he did it all the time and would continue to do so. There are times when I just don't know how to deal with morons!!!
