What is going on here? Anne's dad froths at the mouth at the very mention of them and spends his day devising ever more Heath Robinsonesque contraptions to garrison the bird-table; Daryl's dad drowns them in a water butt; and even the local vicar has just poisoned them on his patch.
But what harm do they do exactly? It's not as if there are any red squirrels around here anyway. And, most annoyingly of all, if they were red squirrels said people would be oohing and aaahing, getting their cameras out, and posting shots to the One Show, Countryfile and Autumnwatch.
