Danny,
It's nice to know that it wasn't just "Herbert's" like myself who were afflicted with mice in MQs. A tale of derring do indeed. Didn't the wives have to put up with a lot in those days, I suspect modern wives might look for external assistance. But good on your good lady, at least she didn't jump on a stool and scream. Aahhh, the service life.
