A friend of mine who is a bit of a hobby farmer sent some fat lambs today to a market, he sold them as farm assured, but it turns out his fa ran out. He told me the market rang him to say he would be docked "£1 a head" did he hear them right or will it be £1 a kilo?
£1 a head I wouldn't bother with fa

That’s a long trek for Tustians!
I guess they wouldn’t be long getting the lorry on the M40 though, then just 4(?) hours up the motorway?
