@Valerie129 Can you give us an idea of the colour?
Going by the previous descriptive accuracy I'm expecting something along the lines of "a solid base of Pantone 491 with 194 highlights and a hint of 174... approximately"
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
No I didn’t realise! I asked a question and really would have appreciated a civil answer but doesn’t look like I’ll get one .. oh! well lesson learned you’ve had your fun hope you enjoyed yourselves.. goodbye!
@Valerie129 - on the previous page Madpenguin posted pictures of a centipede and a millipede, you don't seem to have responded to that. Slow worms and baby snakes were also mentioned. People are trying to help. I thought the jokes about precision were pretty harmless. A question often sparks posts that go off on a tangent, it happens all the time. Anyway, curious what critter you spotted!
Apologies if any insult was taken, none was meant. As Dove said there's a light hearted atmosphere around here which can take some getting used to.
You can tell a lot about your mystery creature by the way it moved especially if it was travelling rapidly. Legless reptiles move in a pronounced S shape, worms move by contracting and extending their bodies in pretty much a straight line, centipedes and millipedes move in a straight line for the most part and use their legs so their body remains fairly constant in shape while the legs move in waves.
Given the description and time of year I'm inclined to say worm. It might help to say how and where you found it. Was it travelling on its own or did you disturb it while moving things?

I thought the British were noted for having a sense of humour and a great capacity for self deprecation. I’m sorry you were upset by the gentle teasing Valerie.
Teasing is ok if you know a person well enough. Please don’t make me bad cop here. I could be autistic and have no comprehension of your ramblings, I’m not thank goodness, just astounded at the responses ,but not unappreciative of those who tried to help.
It definitely wasn’t a centipede or millipede it didn’t have legs.
I'm not sure that some people are clear that questions on here are directed to members of the public who give up their time for free to try and help. At least in this case Valerie said thank you even if she didn't have the courtesy to even answer most of the questions that were put to her.

How‘s your poorly Little One @wild edges ... are you getting any sleep yet?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Getting better slowly thanks. I'm sure I'll have a full night's sleep by Monday (fingers firmly crossed).

Thankyou.
