Listening to the radio today and an interview with , we were told, an expert, regarding the spread of foot and mouth disease,
Interviewer, "How would the virus spread the six miles to Egham"
Expert, "Possibly a contractors lorry left the site at the laboratory and picked up a bit of contaminated mud on it's wheels and then when driving through Egham, the bit of mud dropped off on to the road. A passing vehicle picked up the bit of mud on it's wheels and then drove into the farm".
Yes, it's possible, but so would be my explanation that a flying pink elephant landed at the laboratory prior to flying off to Egham where it landed in the farm.
What is an "expert? What qualifications are there for the job? I can give improbable possible answers, Does that make me an "expert"

Hmmm...don't you find now the world is suddenly full of experts on every subject under the sun, who come out with some of the most bizarre statements you're ever likely to hear...hubby and I usually say, did he or she really say that? And, the answer is...yes, she or he did...and we either swear a lot or roar with cynical laughter...
