Warning This Product May Contain Nuts
I appreciate that products that contain nuts need to have warnings on them to alert people who suffer allergic reactions but I sometime wonder whether this policy goes a bit too far. The reason I say this is that I picked up a large bag of unshelled mixed nuts in the supermarket the other day….
Good News for Otters
This article suggests that otters are now starting to become much more common in Britain.
