I went down to the garden last night to get a cabbage for my dinner and discovered that someone had got there first. The whole place was crawling with slugs and snails. I've been neglecting it a bit as it hasn't needed watering, but that doesn't give that lot the right to move in and take up residence. So before I got my dinner I set about saving tommorows dinner from these molluscan invaders. I collected so many I had to stop because my hands were covered in so much slime I couldn't grip them anymore. I have honestly never seen so many in one place. Do you want to see what 2 kilos of slugs and snails in a bin looks like?

P.S. they are all now sadly dead.

Update: The BBC has at last picked up on this story, come on boys. Apparently the warm wet weather has led to a slug population explosion, hence the two kilos plus of the bastards slithering around my garden. Here is their story dated the 22/08/07.
