I hate clegs too, but don't react badly to them. I hate the way they sneak in under cover of a swarm of sweat flies and the first thing you notice is them stabbing you! I don't care much for sweat flies either - they're a constant irritation. I grit my teeth and put up with them for a while, then go mad and grab a bit of heather and thrash around at them!
