Bloody Immigrants

Oh yeah. Likely.

Salt.

I favour the beer method ....at least they die happy!

Well it ,looks as if Gransnet HQ has some sense.

Wouldn't it be lovely if the complainer had the guts to identify themselves.

When I went out the other morning the pavement was covered with them -but they were black! Lots of them had been trodden on and squashed-uggh.

Never mind the 'racism' (really someone complained ???) but, as much as I hate slugs in my garden- using salt or cutting them in half is just sick, truly.

That's to get tte slime off your hands.

Vim or Ajax. And a nail brush.

You're a much needed breath of fresh air Cari

Don't think I'll be trying that any time soon then dramtessa

My friend suggested I cut them in half, which is what she does. Just ended up with a pair of scissors covered in so much slime I couldn't clean off! And the inside of slugs is infinitely more revolting than the outside [sicky emoticon needed].

I prefer Lager to other methods mentioned drown the blighters after intoxicating them!

I agree Tanith that is pushing credulity too far.

FFS!

At last common sense prevails

'ooray! Cari to the rescue.

Can't believe someone would report but not read a very entertaining thread I hope you stay Pompa.

Please stay Pompa! The title made me laugh!

I do hope you replied to whoever reported it then, Cari and told them to save their over-sensitivity for posts which are really offensive.

I'd say that anyone reporting GandTea for this thread is doing so to be nasty and cause trouble, not because they are genuinely hurt or saddened by a reference to an invasive species being an immigrant. After all, that is EXACTLY what it is. It has moved here, to a strange land, from elsewhere.

The other possibility is that it is someone so tight-arsed and up themselves with defending those who are not being attacked that they see insulting racists under every bed. Another word for that is paranoia!

Worlds gone mad!!

Can we not say ' immigrant' now?

I've just read the slug thread - I'd seen the title and realised it must be ironic.
We get those same horrible orange things too, sometimes they're more brown and (sorry) look like little t..ds. They haven't appeared here yet. Still biding their time, hatching out their babies. I just put slug pellets down, those blue things. They go for the lettuces first.

That is the lowest of the low reporting Pompa for something that does not harm anybody. GNHQ has gone down in my estimation recently- some stuff that should have been removed has not been and something funny like *Pompa's which somebody does not agree with and will not show their head above the parapet, does it sneakily.

There are certain posts I do not like so I do not participate- why could this person just ignore it and allowe the rest of us to enjoy?
