Seems they have their own version of Dogging in Limerick
'Heavily pregnant Emma Veness sought medical advice after taking a real shine to furniture polish. The unusual craving means the mother-of-one has developed an urge to eat it two or three times a day and she's already polished off three cans. "I can't explain why I like it, I think it has a lot do with the texture and how it feels in my mouth," said the 26-year-old. "I normally spray a bit on my fingers and lick it off or spray a bit on the duster and suck it." Not surprisingly, her partner, bricklayer Gavin Wallis, 27, isn't too keen on her dirty habit. She said: "I'd be polishing the TV and turn my back to him to have a taste. When he found out he wasn't happy."
'Otherwise Ms Veness has a squeaky-clean lifestyle - she doesn't smoke and rarely drinks. But her doctor confirmed that the teaching assistant, from Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, suffers from an eating disorder called Pica - an urge to eat things that aren't food. Ms Veness even developed a favourite: "I've tried all the brands but Asda Smart Price polish is the one that does it for me. Others are all too perfumed. Certain things make me crave it more, like simply talking about it or when adverts for polish come on the telly. I wish someone could help me stop. I don't want to be eating it in my 50s" - Metro.
If you got beyond "how it feels in my mouth" without laughing, you're more mature than me
