Oh yes, it's about denied love etc, but well, hellfire, what on earth's he on about for the rest of the song...!

He wrote it for Glynis Johns who opened 'A Little Night Music' on Broadway as it suited her voice and also anyone can sing it - even me

A very good question that. It can't be their eye-sight as it's not that wonderful so it may well be sense of smell. Worth investigating... It could lead to a new slug deterrent.

“Slug Off”    Something with a pong to put the little blighters off.

It would make a great science investigation for primary school aged children.

Is it me or do there seem to be a lot less snails about this year after the very hard winter...

I think they're all in my garden.

I have just finished cutting back various ferns, and found 2, 1 big fat one, and 1 smaller blighter, in 1 of the plants.  They have both been dealt with.  Mrs Bouquet

Some of those pesky little snails actually have special status as endangered species.

I've no idea which ones but all of them are in danger in my garden.
Where's the thrush?!!!!
