As children - or as adults with children - or as slightly sad adults - we've all gone for a stroll at some point and thrown some old stale bread at some ducks.
Love it, don't they? Their little beaks lapping it up.
Nah.
A park sign thanking people for not feeding bread to the ducks is being shared all over the internet and has, with all its home truths, sparked a mass wave of guilt.
This is what the sign, which was attached to park gate, says:
"Thank you for not feeding us bread. Bread makes us ill, as it does not contain the right nutrition or calories we need to keep us warm in winter. Rotting bread pollutes our water and causes nasty surface algae, which kills our fish and gives us diseases. It also makes our water smell."
And thus it began...
So think twice before you step out with that old bag of Hovis.
