Didn't want to be too "sluggish" about passing the information

Funny how the snail mutated into a slug, innit? And in one of the reports it was a "larva"!
Come on journalists, concentrate!!

It's almost too good to be true when you see that the lawyer's name was "Leechman"...

Diane,

In them days, there were chronic housing shortages.

There's two references on the same page to the snail. I've always thought you need to be semi brain dead to be a journo.

At last after 4200++++ Hits and 56 responses to a thread about smoking OR not smoking - someone has a sense of humour (you) well done to break the mould.

Have to go now wife over-cookin fish supper and burning the toast (as always).



Regards

Thanks for the link, Ron. I've been refering to the case for years without realising the Minghella ice cream connection. The main manufacturer of ice cream here on the Isle of Wight is named Minghella. It tastes rather nice, is available in a range of flavours and is said to be gluten free. Perhaps I shall now have to enquire as to whether it is also gastropod free. Come to think of it, they do not have a ginger beer flavour but there is a rum and raisin option. Was this, I wonder, the furthest point they could run to escape Scottish justice or is Minghella still operating North of the border?

Need to be careful though if they do it in smoky bacon flavour!

Personally I'd watch out for the raisins in the rum and raisin - are you quite sure they are what they purport to be?

If you get cancer of the oesophagus from the burnt toast you can always sue your wife!

If itwas IRN BRU the slug would have smashed its way out of the bottle

Thanks for the reminder, Dave. I've just sent back two slices of burnt toast from Benjy's in Croydon and they said that some customers prefer it that way (I suspect they are frustrated smokers forbidden to engage their habit there).

For the record, I am just as capable of burning toast as my wife but do keep a fire-blanket readily available.
