dead snails... slow as shit!

I was working in Garden Ooptions today in Melrose and a guy came in to buy a chimney pot. he asked me where he should put all the snails that were attached to the inside! I said under the cherry tree and we'll see how far they get... By the end of the day, they hadn't moved even a millimetre... they were'nt just slow... they were dead! R.I.P little snail family!
