    Why does the BBC website have to show tabloid newspaper headlines? The Star is scaremongering 'invasion of deadly vipers' after someone got bitten by an adder. No one has died from an adder bite in over 40 years. Invasion of thick chavs to the countryside never makes the front page though.
    thick chavs or paranoid townies? or both?

    Either way, there will probably now be a campaign to rid the countryside of snakes on 'Elf n Safetee' grounds.

    What about the dog which killed a boy in Cornwall last week? Are we going to kill all dogs now?

    If we keep having heath fires as often as we are now there won't be much snake habitat left soon. Thick townie chavs to blame again for the most part.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I agree B3, born and raised in the city myself but I rarely spend my time setting fires and killing wild animals! I am too busy trying to make my small garden as wildlife friendly as possible. Are there no “country chavs”?

    There's ignorance in all sectors of society and also amazing people doing great things in all sectors. The one doesn't excuse the other though.

    Going back to corporate nonsense; why don't cans stack on top of each other properly anymore? Heinz seem to have had a redesign and removed the lips that hold the cans together securely.

    I'm sure now the warm weather has passed people will get back to being grumpy again. There's too much of this cheerful nonsense going about. :s
