Crustacean Invaders
Our fair isles are being OVERRUN BY FUNNY-EYED
SUSPICIOUSLY-COIFFED ARTHROPOD LEGIONS FROM ABROAD! My friends,
equip yourselves with maps, Wellingtons, nets, copious amounts of
mayonnaise, and join battle!

University)

Hampstead heath, dash it (House
of Lords - public ordered to eat on sight (crayfish, not
Lords))

Serpentine (House
