LOOKS like it works for all kinds of
wilting...
A celebrity gardener in the UK
has shared the secret of his
upstanding blooms - he puts a bit
of Viagra in the water.
David Domoney, known as ‘The
Entertaining Gardener’,
recommmends 1mg of Viagra to
keep flower arrangements looking
fabulous and fresh.
“Drop in a standard Viagra
tablet...it stiffens up your blooms
a treat,” his website advises.
DRINKERS in the UK will need to
guzzle more beer to get the same
effect, after the maker of several
brands including Beck’s Budweiser
and Stella Artois announced a
reduction of alcohol levels.
The alcohol content will be
lowered from the current 5% to
4.8% - which in turn will save the
firm AB InBev about £8.6m a year
in taxes and duties.
The company said the move “is
in line with evolving UK category
trends,” and will also see the sizes
of the bottles reduced.
HERE’S an unusual way of
deterring those graffitists.
The managers of a historic
tourist attraction in the UK say
they’re considering introducing a
hive of honey bees in order to
discourage vandals who have
been damaging the buildings.
The Greenfield Valley Heritage
Park is located near the town of
Holywell in North Wales and
features woodland, reservoirs, a
number of factories from the
industrial revolution along with
ancient monuments including the
ruins of Basingwerk Abbey.
It’s very hard to patrol, but the
park manager said that having
“security bees” could be a
deterrent - and as an extra bonus
locally produced honey could be
sold to visitors.
However the plan may not get
off the ground, amid concerns
about legitimate visitors also
being stung.
