I mentioned that we’ve discovered that we have crayfish living under the house. Today’s Observer carries a story about the American Red signal crayfish that is apparently ravaging the riverbeds of the UK. Oo-er. Looking again at the photo I took of the crayfish, it does appear to be red. Oo-er again… The final quote in the story sounds rather worrying:
‘They’re on the increase. They can live for months out of water and I can see a time when people will be beating them away from their back door with a stick,’ she said. ‘If nothing is done, they may become as common as rats in some areas.’
Yet again, ooo-errr… Methinks I need to put crayfish on the menu pretty damn quick.
