Nice shot, VH-KDK Many years ago a man made a fortune in selling concrete garden ornaments. He had a house built in the shape of a large rodent and the garden was decorated with dozens of his ornaments. Unfortunately this attracted all the cats and dogs in the neighbourhood which kept him awake at night. After a week he had enough and went outside and threw one of the ornaments, hitting and killing a cat. A policeman was passing at the time and saw this happen and our friend ended up in court. He was charged with causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and was given a hefty fine and a suspended jail sentence.

Nice one Martyn, but why are the called Glass mountains? Especially if the water is too hot Jack, no good having a crack in the glass. In 1770 Captain Cook named the mountains as their distinctive shape reminded him of the glass furnaces in Yorkshire where he was from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petfy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Once upon a time there was a very rich king who had a summerhouse in the castles grounds made completely of glass. He did not like the design of his current throne and had another one made to replace it. He did not want the old throne in the castle and had it stowed in the attic of the summerhouse. He continually did not like the design of each successive throne and also had them stowed in the summerhouse. Finally there was too much weight from all the thrones, and the summerhouse shattered into a glass heap. Moral of the story - people who live in glass houses shouldn't stow thrones.
