Killer wasps on canal

[Retlaw]

Wasps can be very unpredictable at this time of year, all the egg laying is practically over, all next years queens have left, the remaining wasps have now nothing to do except die off, they start to eat into fruit like apples & pears, which ferments and makes them drunk & act like certain Accy Webbers, nasty & stingy

little gits, causing trouble cos they can`t take their ale.

My ex-wife used to say I was as crammed as a wasp, in other words I wasn't a happy man, I actually hate the little blighters, once had one in St. Mary's church gardens Stuffed a smoke bomb down the entrance followed by some wet rags, that cut um down to size

Try anti istamine cream u get it from any chemist white tube with yellow writing on works straight away the sting will go and the redness will go within the hour I swear by it as I do landscape gardening I've had my fair share in wasps and bee stings cost u about 3 quid
