Next door's Koi Carp ate my sweet peas.

I am thinking of asking my landlady for the contents of her drip trays after she has measured them - this might give a mix suitable for all the slugs differing tastes - including the lager dringkers!

I'm sorry but I can think of a far better use for real ale, slugs can have the foreign muck

So could my hubby but thankfully he (and his mates) couldn't drink a 20 litre polypin before it went off, so it was either the drain or the slugs...

;D

"BBC GQT did a survey a couple of summers ago and the consensus was that the slugs preferred stout and real ale to lagers......"   

So that proves one thing moonbells - slugs have taste..... ;D ;D ;D
