Now that flies are as far from out thoughts as......well, flies.Does anyone know where they go,do they hibernate or just die and fall out of the sky one day.Is there a communal meeting place where the buggers hide,ready to attack us in plague like proportions one spring afternoon.

I'm on a quest and need help........

Hmmmm...... a Spanish neighbour, a professional type of apparently sound mind, told us in the autumn that as there weren't many flies this year, the chemical companies had got together and chartered an aeroplane to drop maggots all over the campo so they's hatch and make the local authorities buy fly kill chemicals so ensuring these  companies wouldn't have sich a financially hard year. 

He was serious.

Makes ya think huh?

These ""professional sound minded"" spaniards do have a great sense of humour, dont they?
I suppose they chuck out a load of doggie doo doos as well to feed the maggots on. Undecided
