Harold watched a documentary on Bog people last night. He tried to explain it to me by telling me their bodies had been preserved in peat; but as soon as they were released from the mud they started to decay and therefore had to be kept under water.
“That’s why they’re called bog people,” I said. “Best kept around the U-bend.”

Sorry I missed that one. Have you read the Seamus Heaney poems on the subject?
*laughs*
Good thing I just sat my coffee down. Wicked woman.
I haven't Dave. I shall look out for them.
Stephanie - Thank you, and sorry!
What an interesting concept. Not surprised Harold was taken with it. ;0)
Bog people are 6K year old mummies
