Food for Thought


Eye was looking through past suggestions for the column and came across a leaflet from St Albans city and district council, which was sent in by Sarah Bell last year.

The good people of St Albans council, concerned about the feeding of the city's birds in parks and ponds, came up with a 'Quackersnacks' project to educate the masses about the pitfalls and dangers of feeding bread to the birds. They also came up with grain bags that people could use instead.
Unfortunately for them, a slight typo on the leaflet came about and they ended up with 'Quakersnacks'.
