Clive Mullis (1958 – and still going) spent his formative years in Hemel Hempstead and moved to Bedfordshire shortly after getting married. After thirty years as a paramedic he developed an emergency worker’s type sense of humour; a little bit black and a little bit off the wall.

Some places don’t have them, but they’re found in other places. Oddly enough, Florida didn’t have many of them when I was down there. At least in my area, which I was told was because of sulfur being put into the water. It stopped them from laying eggs in the ponds and such.
