people who moan about housing sheep,psst.you got the wrong breeding mate...adapt or give up ....(y)

Yes I've heard all of the "my sheep lamb outdoors completely unassisted in windchill of -47" bollox. Or we could lamb later and miss the high prices. Or we could just put them in the shed from mid December to end of Feb and stop turning grass into mud, and pissing about in the rain. Its the obvious solution.

Shed holds grain temporary in summer then beet to mid Dec, so it's available for the worst,of the winter for the sheep. I am not staying on for one more winter outwinter ewes on 4 year leys on slow draining land. I have had it up to here with it. The damage to soil structure and run off with these wet winters is completely unacceptable never mind the misery for man and beast.

Incompetent suppliers.

Are all parts suppliers thick as sh!t? It doesn't matter how many serial/model numbers you give them they STILL get it wrong.

Insurance companies.

Before buying another car to replace the one that I assume has been written off I thought I'd tell the insurance company what I was thinking of buying. New to me car is 11 insurance groups lower than what I was driving but they want £225 for change of vehicle.
When I questioned this they said that it was due to the increased value, but my premium has never gone down when I've reduced the value of my car and they've told me in the past that value doesn't affect premiums.
Next excuse for the charge was that apparently you're more likely to have an accident in an unfamiliar vehicle and they've actually been giving me discount for years because I owned my last car for so long.
They're just full of :poop:

Sounds like time for a new insurance company. They all treat loyal customers like shît.
