To be clear about this.....this is mbc trying to say something coherent in English after 9 pints of the aforesaid beer, and with toast earlier had a teaspoon of east coast produced nice white honey...................absolute definite proof that neonics cause severe problems navigating around the keyboard.

Oh sod off Roger!

Cannot get across my yard without serious risk to the bum bones due to it being a sheet of ice, the result of snow that melted to an inch of slush then froze solid. Not a bee flown for about 10 days.

Due to the difficulty various people have had getting safely across the yard since last week I am considering have the ice tested for neonics today...............it certainly gave rise to CCD on Saturday......Car Control Deficiency.

You could consider a winter enterprise, open it up to the locals as an ice skating rink. Brew up some mulled wine and dress the employees as Santa and elves!
