So, it's due to the persistence of one women from Glasgow, and the now-infamous deceased snail, that we now have many of the statutes which help protect us from negligence to this day.

This statue, called Dear Duty, honours May Donoghue's persistence ans was created by Mandy McIntosh. It was erected in 2018 on Wellmeadow Street in Paisley where the cafe where she bought the fateful bottle of ginger beer once stood.

Women have helped change the world in many different ways, but possibly the strangest involved a woman from Glasgow named May Donoghue and a dead snail. In August 1928, she travelled to the nearby town of Paisley where she bought a bottle of ginger beer which caused her to become rather ill due to the fact it contained the remains of a decaying mollusc.
