Further to the resolution reached on Sept 18th 2002 by the eight member neighbours of the United Gardeners of Jones Grove Horticultural Security Council, President Gorse Bush passed the following motion before calling on Nurse Gladys Bagshaw to change his incontinence pants.

"The snails in question are known to be untrustworthy and have played these games of political maouvering before. Several times in the past they have allowed the weed inspectors access to various high-profile plants, such as the budlea and the fir tree. However, at the exact same instant, they were secretly harbouring terrorist slugs belonging to the Al-Gastropod organisation."

A further ammendment has now been taken into consideration that if unrestricted access isn't granted to the compost heap where all aphids, ants, weevils and other biologically destructive insects must be handed over without complaint, then the council salt truck will be called from its shed for a pre-emptive, pre-Christmas de-icing of the yard.
