Good one!   ;)

on a serious note - please do either leave a length of wood stuck in the bin so critters can climb back out or put a lid on the bin and put a stone on the lid to stop it blowing off. Nothing worse than seeing a drowned hedgehog when you haven't been on the plot for a while.

I put the lid on up-side down with a hole drilled into the lid at its lowest point so any rainwater goes through the lid into the bin, with a stone in the lid to keep it secure.

Yes I guessed that didn't want people worrying about my wildlife. :)

Can a hedgehog climb a vertical (or more likely overhanging) sided pail? (Serious question)

There you try and do a kindness and point out the tools that will be required and if not owned and it blows up in your face  :nowink: :nowink:
I would just keep quiet if I were you  :D :D
It seems some of us men folk have a nack of ruffling the feathers of those who believe they are obeyed.
On another note. I stuff all my drownees into a couple of onion sacks after putting a lump of brick or stone into them.
This stops the tap bunging up with stinky goo and makes removal of the remains much easier. Basicaly a plastic tea bag.
