I'm not sure if this show was broadcast nationwide but I'm sure you'll find it interesting whether you view it as "informative" or as a "warning "!!! :bugs:

they're not my favourite wee beasties but thankfully I've never suffered them as bad as some folk in the show ....c'mon the "Skin so Soft " :happy2:

Well Dr James Logan is rather nice isn't he :grin: It would be good to see him on Autumnwatch/Springwatch...we'd get more insects on the programme too

A very interesting programme John...I love the expression Peely Wally :cwl:

Ans also just to let you kow I bought some Skin So Soft on your recommendation and it does work :cool:

I'm still to watch that John but i'm sure we will over the weekend, given the amount of rubbish that will no doubt be on!

I think a change of some of the presenters on SW would be a good idea Paula. Dr George McGavin, the entomologist, would be another of my choices. He was excellent in the 'Lost Land Of' series of programmes.

Dave, I'm sure Paula would have old George down as a "fossil" expert now that she's got the "hots" for Midgie boy !....eh , Paula ;) ...as for SSS , nice to hear you agree it works ....apparently "drowning " the wee terrors :o
still can't get over the numbers involved though ....every man ,woman and child in Scotland can have 350 million of them each ......if they wanted :bugs: :ha:

I think George is great too :cool:

I do like MHG but why is he always up a tree/cliff/in the water :think: ....sometimes it gets a bit silly for me

Sorry John I'm digressing

I knew there were a few midges in Scotland but never realised quite how many :bugs:
