Wasps And Flies
9 Answers
Just enjoying a chotapeg with the Memsahib on the patio as the evening cools off. She remarked that we haven't, fortunately , been bothered by wasps, or come to that, flies during these hot and sunny climes in the last 2 or 3 weeks .Eating Salad and tinned Pilchards has not attracted these pesky bugs ,thank Christ, when eating al fresco in the garden. Anyone else noticed this or are we just the lucky ones. So far?

//Wasps don't kill people.//
Unfortunately they can kill a lot of people. A sting will, in some unfortunates cases cause anaphylactic shock
Ex President of the USA Jimmy Carter was a prime candidate for this.
When here, on a state visit. and a guest of our late HMQ he was accommodated in Buckingham Palace. His daily morning routine was to go Jogging for about three hours and it was suggested that Hyde Park was his best venue. Every day whilst jogging around the park he had two U.S. military ambulances and one NHS ambulance (Hosts Courtesy) which slowly trundled down the Bayswater Road and into Hyde Park where they continued along Serpentine Road with about ten secret service vehicles in tow. Just because of a pesky wasp or bee. :-)
