Tip

[Atarah]

Hi, are you, like in my house, troubled with lots and lots of annoying little flies (fruit flies? veg flies?)

My other half went in his local pub last night and asked what on earth was "in the dish, on the bar". Turns out they too are being pestered with them and are using an old fashioned tip

Vinegar, sugar, in a dish, clingfilm over, with holes in. AND ... IT WORKS... TRY IT.

We`ve been troubled with a few recently( not as many as usual) so i just whip out my wand.........on my Dyson obviously and chase them round till i have sucked them all up..............

Oh Margaret ... have used 1,000's of tins of hairspray since I was 16, still here to tell the tale

Didn't know Accyman used it ? Tee hee.

You might not be if you'd held it to your head at the same time as a lighter.

I think Margaret meant that hairspray and lighter together are dangerous, not just hairspray.

very dangerous, was once tapping a bird up in the flicks down blackburn way back n me fag set her hair alight was " Bellair" laquer i believe, was not a good way to chat a bird up. her head went up like flame thrower. P.S. if you were that bird n ya read this cashy regrets it, but still finds it funny.
