Could not resist this story I know its a couple of weeks old now but its not old if you have not seen it, truth or not its worth a giggle.
Nip it in the bud... nude swimmers told to wear clothes as aggressive crayfish multiply in Hampstead Heath ponds
21 September 2012 London Evening Standard website.
A vicious breed of crayfish has invaded Hampstead Heath ponds and begun nipping swimmers.
The red swamp crayfish, known for its aggressive behaviour and long
claws, is multiplying so fast that 5,000 of them are believed to be in
the pools.
Bathers in the men’s pool, where many swim naked (allegedly), have been advised to wear clothes.
Regular Peter McCafferty, 43, said: “I’ve been seeing more and more crayfish being pulled out and I’m very wary of them.
“I’ve had a couple of nips on my toes in the past few months. But some people have been nipped in altogether more sensitive places, which doesn’t bear thinking about.”
