    Had you killed off all the competition? @Lyn or maybe it was the strange weather. Blame almost everything on that and the rest on Covid😉
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    definitely the  weather B,😀. Too cold, too hot, too windy, too wet,  every blames the weather for their failures in the garden.
    The only competition I had when digging out was the OH,  better not kill him off. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    You're right though - so many folk never think it's something they've done or not done that's caused stuff to fail.   ;)

    They might have more to worry about than a dead petunia or two....

    It might stop people reading on the toilet
    I wonder: Do they do it before, during or after?🤔

    I've never understood reading on the toilet. Why would you?  :/
    I'm sure you're not that hopeless @steveTu :D

    I have a feeling my head might explode soon....something causing a headache [apart from the weather] ...and deja vu when posting.... :|

    How little you know me - as useless as tits on a boar pig - as me old dad would say.

    I've never understood that reading on the loo bit either. Surely you want to get in and out as quickly as reasonably possible, not do the Times crossword.

    You need to put on a tin foil hat. Don't forget that the whole point of the Covid vaccination programme was to allow Boris to exercise mind control over the weak willed. The pain you're feeling is your brain fighting back against the turmoil that fraudulently poses as thought within the Johnson skull. If you don't don a tin foil hat, within hours - nay minutes - you'll be thinking that Prati Pitel is worth listening to and should be given a gong at the next honours awards.

    I just looked at the Monster Rats in Toilet Bowls but see that the "expert" hasn't yet supplied a pic to back up his findings. Or given a reason why Norwich is particularly affected.  As toilet bowls inlets/outlets are smaller these days you'd surely be lucky to get an average size rat struggling up into your toilet bowl never mind this new Monster breed. The only time I have ever come across this scenario has been in a Horror story or film.
    However, given the issue of environmentally friendly produced meat and the arguments re trade deals, etc., this could be an opening for those affected to look into the breeding of their Toilet Rats ( altho they may need to install more Toilets ) Forget Crickets and Locusts as the new food source - go for Monster Toilet Rats instead.
    Sorry - this post is almost as stupid as the news article :D
