Slugs in the salad... oh horror of horrors !<br /><br />As for the plain clothes, most everyone in the photo is dressed in black, guess there must be hordes of police around, or whatever the collective noun for police is... a pooling of police ? A polish of police ?<br /><br />You've never seen a magpie ??? Don't they have them in Canada ? What about on your trips to Europe, they are quite common here. Although I had go to the blogs to learn that a group of magpies is a "tidings" of magpies. <br /><br />I am still reeling from the royal visitor who just dropped in.
