Sorry but I'd get DDT - I couldn't live with them. http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/ddt-is-ok-with-me if only it worked :( -- but something must - I remember my parents putting DDT everywhere.

When I was studying 'A' level physics - the teacher used to swear we'd all have nuclear fusion fired boilers the size of a fridge "soon" Maybe Chernobyl changed peoples minds.

I've known people with dementia do that sort of thing. Very difficult when they do.

It's our constitution even if it doesn't exist. otherwise they couldn't do it. Will that do for starters ?
