Need some help here guys :wack:

 

I came home today and Mrs Shrimp had been doing the housework, including sorting out her 2.3x10^18 pairs of shoes in the bottom of the wardrobe, and the other random bits that end up in there.

 

She found something very unusual which between us we can't explain...

 

Screwed up in the corner was a Dorothy Perkins :rolleyes: bag. You know, black with the handles ;)

 

Inside this bag she found something v strange: A can of girly bodyspray, undamaged and almost full. On testing it sprayed fine. Also in the bag was the remains of a Tescos carrier bag

 

Remains as in, completely shredded, the smallest shreddings being akin to dust sized particles :confused: The larger sheddings, well like fron a shredder. Amongst the remains was the Dorothy Perkins receipt, undamaged.

 

WTF?!?!

 

We quickly thought of some possible answers...

 

1) Onions, our cat, (not Mike Onions :rofl: ) occasionally brings mice in. Nest in the bag etc. But why not chew the DP receipt up. And we also found a packet of hula hoops amongst the shoes, which surely would have been polished off. No droppings, chewed shoes or anything.

 

2) Somehow the spray has leaked and worked some chemical magic with the plastic Tescos bag? However the lid was still on, the spray can was unpunctured and pretty full.

 

3) This was biodegradation in action. However there was another Tescos bag nearby whoch was fine. We keep bags generally, in a cupboard downstairs, and have never experienced Tescos carrier bag degradation before.

 

Any more suggestions are welcomed, no, begged for! I'll not sleep tonight.

 

Cheers :D

Mmmmm :confused: a mouse with a strange fetish :x:

You haven't/didn't own a cat called Cheese as well did you??? LOL

No, Mince.

 

EDIT - thats not an order btw :D

Well believe it or not Tesco carrier bags are known to deteriate much quicker than other carrier bags. Excessive heat/cold or moisure will rapidly decrease te life cycle.

 

Maybe moisture in the sweat form the shoes speeded the process up.

You mean you moved all the back copys of razzle to see what was under them all!!

 

I say about time too, your not 14 any more :D:D

Woodlice? maybe attracted to a perticluar mix of material, the bags may have been manufactured from a different blend of material??? same as the receipt these are sometimes made from thermal paper??
