Interesting Facts

According to the pest control firm Rentokil, around two billion people around the world supplement their daily diet with creepy crawlies. (The most common insects eaten tend to be meal worms and locusts.  The thing is that common "pests" in the UK are wasps, mice, rats, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas and pigeons. It sounds as if Rentokil are trying to get us to do their work for them.  However, for me, pigeon pie, maybe, but rat fricassee or bed bug gratin?  No, thank you.) We are talking about this issue on the forum.

Since the National Lottery was launched in the UK in 1994 90% of jackpot winners blew the lot within five years. (It reminds me of an old Russian saying that money is like a homing pigeon and will always fly back to its roost in the rafters of the rich.)
