EU's fault innit.

On a genuine note white dog poo was a result of all the ground up bone in it and it was the excess calcium that made it white. Manufacturers started using less bone (think it was EU legislation) hence less white dog poo

I'm shocked. I wouldn't hsve thought you had it in you to steal orange juice.

Does anyone send postcards or write letters to friends or family anymore? I can't imagine that happens very often.
