The flies, the flies…

It’s December, it’s Britain, it’s freezing and we are still plagued by house flies.

What is the world coming to?  It’s a strange, twisted paradox.  One possible answer is global warming, you know the science bête noire that just won’t go away (except in Britain, in December when it’s freezing).

We had them for a long time last year, well into November, but this year they’ve really taken the biscuit.  It’s currently 8th December and they’re still here, despite our having been gripped in the coldest of cold snaaaaaaaps – almost 3 weeks already, it’s going to be a long long winter.  They’re sluggish mind, oh yes.  I sprayed one with some underarm deodorant in the bathroom this afternoon.  It made no attempt to fly away and just took the full force of the blast from the aerosol.  That’ll teach the little blighters…
