Unbiased advice at reasonable rates
I had one today. I was coming back from the supermarket on the push bike and turned into a road near where I live. There's a large pond there with grass/trees, the works. Anyway, in the road in front of me is a sizeable freshwater lobster. I stopped and it spread out its claws in that way they do to give me a warning.
I pointed it out to some other fellow cycling past, but as usual he just thought I was a nutter pointing at the road. People are blind sometimes. Then this other fellow stopped and took out a phone and started taking photos of it.
I said: 'Perhaps we should move it off the road or it'll get flattened.'
He said, 'yeah I'm going to take a photo and show my wife!'
And his child was shouting: 'it's a crab! It' a crab!
The Dutch get confused between crab/lobster because of the use of the word kreeft.
So whilst he was taking a photo of it and it looked like it was posing, I picked it up and took it back near the water. It's not something you see every day.
