At first when Mum told be what this thread was called, I thought she was being quirky and I liked it! So for days I had this image in my mind....

That reminded me of the story I heard about a postman who got so sick and tired of a particular dog on his rounds that would make it thier sole purpose to bite him everyday. Day after day this postman would be bitten until, he finally reached his breaking point (ask yourself what you would do in this situation and tell me you wouldn't contemplate doing exactly what this postie did...) One day he simply gave as good as he got and bit the dog back! Not that our friendly postman pat with his black and white cat would ever do that (but afterall, no plastacine dog has bitten his little plastacine bum before). The dog actually died from an infection caused by the bacteria in the postmans saliva. Moral of the story, Google Running Postman and you'll actually see it's a very pretty plant....
