Ants

Imagine my surprise when I found instead of water, ants were coming out of my taps. This was not the result of some local infestation but a problem stemming from the water supplier. For not only is the flow of ants controllable by the taps but cold ants come out of the cold taps and hot ants out of the hot taps!

I decided to ring our new water suppliers, Antwater, (alarm bells should have rung then, I know, I know) but I was almost immediately put on hold. I decided to make a cup of tea while I waited but this was made extremely difficult by the ants eating the sugar each time I tried to add it to the mug. The washing machine trundled in the background, its cargo of laundry and ants tumbling gently over each other.
