Um if anyone recently heard that slugs and snails are protected species
I think it was on the first of April.
My preferred method sounds revolting (well I suppose it is actually) I
hunt out the little chaps and cut off their heads with a sharp pair of
scissors (only used for this job) its a much quicker death than slow
burning by salt. Whats more slugs and snails love nothing better than
cannibalism and will gather in large numbers to eat the decapitated
remains-thereby providing the next batch for treatment all in one place.
I spear them before tossing them in a salted bucket with a Victorian
ivory handle cake fork. Very posh ;o)
