          Sawdust 
          
          It's rare to see sawdust on the floors of butcher shops now. The sawdust 
          absorbs any blood from the hanging carcasses in the shop. I hadn't seen 
          it in so long, until recently in the Liberties, that I thought it had 
          gone as a result of the plethora of new EU food regulations.
