Do you hate earwigs? Probably not as much as the formidable Connie Rees!
In 1962 she wrote a jingle to the tune of ‘Old Macdonald had a Farm’ as a complaint about the earwig invasion in her home, addressed to the development corporation's general manager, R. S. McDougall. Letter from 1962, in which ... 'Old McDougall had a town Earwig, Earwig, O,
With an Earwig here, and an Earwig there,
With an Earwig nearly everywhere,
Old McDougall had a town, Earwig Earwig, O.’🎶
Yours sincerely, Connie Rees
