    Saw the story on breakfast news this morning. Given the reaction of the presenters when they found out Dave had been euthanized, I'm dreading any bad news stories about illness in the royal family any time soon! Wink

    No Dave, it was a giant of an earthworm. The biggest and best of its species ever discovered. You should be beaming with pride! Wink

    That would have fed a family of Blackbirds, why didn't they just leave it to mature fully?Wink

    You're right, like me it is/was the best of its species, hope I don't go the same way Sad

    Can't believe we are discussing worms on a caravan forum. Some people must be desperate for stars!

    ‘Dave’ or’ Big Jim’ the biggest and best of the species?  Laughing Now’t but tiddlers compared to Wearside’s infamous  ‘Lambton Worm’
    Cool.

    Would have made good bait.  just think of the size of fish that worm, wriggling on a hook, would have attracted.

    Cheers. . . .  K
