Bankers and Snails

Comments on two items of news today.

First of all, the main story of the Guardian today is about the Real IRA saying it will target UK bankers. So they are trying to win the hearts and minds of the British public then.

Even the Governor of the Bank of England admitted today the part the "financial sector" played in producing our current economic climate.

But enough of all that, the big story I heard on the news this morning was that snails have a strong homing instinct and if you want to rid them from your garden you have to take them at least 100 metres away. That means throwing them over the fence into your neighbour's garden won't work . You need to throw them at least three doors down.

But what I don't understand is this, why do they want to return home, don't they carry their home with them at all times?
