Tip

Hi, are you, like in my house, troubled with lots and lots of annoying little flies (fruit flies? veg flies?)

My other half went in his local pub last night and asked what on earth was "in the dish, on the bar". Turns out they too are being pestered with them and are using an old fashioned tip

Vinegar, sugar, in a dish, clingfilm over, with holes in. AND ... IT WORKS... TRY IT.

You might not be if you'd held it to your head at the same time as a lighter. :eek:

I think Margaret meant that hairspray and lighter together are dangerous, not just hairspray. :D
