    Now it's killer ladybirds...

    The council wants people carrying cameras to snap the Asian insects.
    Wouldn't it be quicker stamp on them? And why do you need a camera?

      Maybe you are meant to "snap" the insects by hitting them with a heavy object, such as a camera?

        I think we should campaign for UK greenfly for UK ladybirds. All these immigrant ladybirds coming over here and eating our greenfly
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            Shropshire County Council is asking residents to keep their eyes peeled for Harlequin ladybirds, which are black, red or yellow with varied spots.


            Nice and easy to tell them apart from other ladybirds then!! Good accurate description that!

              Maybe we should set up a border force of small birds to catch this lot when they try to enter the UK. We could also tape them to the legs of migratory birds to send 'em back.

                Can't we just find out the date of the ladybird picnic then do a swoop and catch them all at the same time?

                  I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                  Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
