	I've had leeches - not nice clean ones like that - these were 'picked up' - regularly - in the river I used to play in!!! ...Now - who wants to try my 'everlasting' pill??!!!! LOL Remember - in victorian times, flush loos were a luxury - most people had not much more than a bucket with a lid, that everyone went in, until it was full!!
