A Daily Mail classic

- There is no such thing as a 'crack' adder - any adder will slide into a gap between rocks if there is one
- There are no rocks on Hounslow heath
- I very much doubt if the adder was 3ft (36 inches or about 0.9 metre) long - British adders are hardly ever more than 2ft, and even in Sweden where apparently they grow biggest, I think 35 inches is about the record
