A worrying thought

An extremely concerning realisation came to mind this morning regarding this unusually mild winter that we in the UK are experiencing. Those among you who are glad of it, nay relish it and pray not for snow and sub zero temperatures might like to consider this:

Without the bone chilling, sustained freezing temperatures of years gone by the arachnid population thrives. Come spring there will be many, abnormally few, courtesy of a cold winter, having passed to the great spider's web in the sky and worse still, much much worse,......come September-ish time and 'spider season,' having had far more time to mature than they deserve, the specimens creeping and crawling around your home will be of gargantuan proportions. Forget the glass and piece of paper for spider trapping activities, you're gonna need a bucket and paving slab for these mothers!!!
