I've never seen sand at the seaside that could qualify as sharp sand. Lots of different grain sizes, and different calcareous content, but nothing that resembles sharp sand, or even soft builders sand.
I wonder how "sharp" sand and soft builders sand were made (comparing to beach sand)... something I really ought to know already. Hmm.
The message from Grimly Curmudgeon contains these words:
Slugs ain't too nice, either. We had a kitten once - he couldn't manage birds and mice and things so he used to line slugs up on the doorstep for us. Getting the milk in in your socks wasn't an exercise you repeated. Pureed slugs between the toes takes some getting used to. Though there's probably a brothel in Bankok specialising in it by now.
