On a serious note let that be a lesson to us all. There's nothing in this country that will kill you with a bite but they'll give it a damn good go just in case.
I can handle most wildlife apart from swarms of wasps. It's dog mess that still churns me every time though!
Andy, that sounds pretty grim!
Only last month I visited a client to discuss winter works. He pointed at a gutter downpipe and told me it was blocked. There was an intermediary running outlet around 7ft up and my first instinct was to put my hand in it (without gloves - why oh why, I never do that!) and feel around for any trapped debris.
There wasn't much at all that I could feel - just a small handful of 'moss' which I seized with my fingers and brought down towards my head. Two maggots from the carcass of a bat dropped on my forehead - and then I did the Indian rain dance manoeuvre! The client will dine on that moment!
Grim, yuck, 'orrible - call it what you will, those 'discoveries' are always the worst ones when gardening.
Cheers, Eugene
Thanks for the laughs.
But seriously, be careful out there. People buy themselves all these exotic pets and then when they get too big and they can no longer handle them, the pets "escape".
You never know what you may find.
