I AM sure everyone knows a couple of old bores who should keep themselves to themselves these days, with most retired or semi-retired politicians fitting the bill!

However, these are not the only bores causing angst, as wild boar are causing increasing problems across the land. So much so that that ScotGov has ordered a report on how to tackle the problem of the reported 1000 or so roaming free in Scotland. It is reported that up to 40 of the creatures are loose on Alyth Hill which is only about one mile from the centre of the Perthshire town.
