Squander writes with justified awe about the wonders of genetically modified plants. I have attended boxing tournaments with an Australian woman who worked on the very explosive-munching GMOs upon which he marvels.
Almost as marvellously, she once marched into work in the lab where she was a PhD student and expressed her outrage that her walk through Cambridge that morning had been ruined by the city council putting detergent all over the pavements. It was of course a northern-hemisphere winter and the “detergent” was frost.
[Apologies to Hak and to sheep-shaggers everywhere for originally, incorrectly, and insensitively identifying the subject of this story as a Kiwi.]
So it’s council workers who put the frost out is it? Must need similar skills to putting all that electricity onto the third rail for trains to scoop up on their way to Brighton…….
You have attended boxing tournaments with an australian woman ? Wow, I know the Ozzies are sports mad, but i didn’t think Brits went in for boxing with a lady !
