Mank, Mank and More Mank (by sarah)
Well I've been doing the Spring cleaning and was horrified when I decided to clean down the shelves in the larder cupboard. I went to lift the little stacking can shelves unit only to discover that it was horbouring somehting so foul and disgusting that I gagged.
The unit appeared to be glued to the shelf, I prized it off with a disturbing sucking noise. A foul stench assulted my nose and brown gloop went glop!
Some how, dont ask me how! Insects of verious types seemed to have drown in condesation in the cavity space underneith the unit. How they got in there I do not know as there didnt seem to be any residences in there whilst I was cleaning (as in live ones). It wasnt just one type of insect either (ok look I'm a scientist I looked and prodded ok) - how they got under there I do not know.
They had superated and fermented and turned - well ickky!
It was disturbing and resulted in me going for a bit of over kill in cleaning the cupboard including throwing away open packets of things - this was a bit silly as there hadnt been a smell or anything until I broke the surface tension that had sealed the unit onto the shelf. I then washed the entire cupboard and disinfected it etc...
It was Mank of the highest kind.
