I frequently talk nonsense and I appreciate it when people tell me
when I talk nonsense. I don't consider that rude at all.

I felt that the phrasing of your questins sounded rude.

If that is the case, you have a damp problem in your house.
Have you had a look under the floorboards?
I ask once again whether you are sure you are talking about woodlice.
Your story makes me wonder if you have an infestation of cockroaches.

I *know* what a woodlouse looks like. Having lived abroad for a while where
we had to lay cockroach bait because we had the bl**dy things everywhere, I
also know the difference between a cockie and a woodie and I'd rather face a
tiny, non-flying woodie any day.

And I really *really* do not have any damp in my house. The floorboards
have been lifted to prove this fact. If I had any damp, there would be
signs other than woodies. I've lived in a damp house and know the
difference.

I will continue to put down nippon by my doors.

D'ya know I'm now becoming obsessed to the point that I'm thinking of
conducting an experiment by catching some woodies and seeing what I can get
them to eat. And I shall look into putting slug pellets around my soft
fruit in the future. Unless you think I might be confusing what a
woodlouse looks like in comparison to a slug! :-)
