    Ban Non stun slaughter

    I would be interested to see that evidence because I believed that humans lost consciousness as soon as the blood supply stopped. Like how a fighter pilot blacks out in a high ‘G’ manoeuvre. I am totally opposed to non - stun slaughter.

    High speed gear for hydraulic pump case 885

    I would start by putting a pressure gauge on a remote and see if you’ve got at least 2200 psi and ideally a flow meter as well, so you can measure pressure against certain flow rates.

    Wet the new normal

    Yes it’s early enough yet, things can change very quickly at this time of year. It’s going to have to though!

    Red Tractor meat

    I did not know that. Good old RT think of everything. Makes you wonder though why others have had deductions.

    She has done well for you, nice to see long lived cows.

    Red Tractor meat

    According to the RT website, the animal must have a UK passport, therefore has to have been born here. But not necessarily on a RT assured farm. (yet).

    Stoic bunch farmers

    I actually wonder if it is a policy to manage demand in GP practices by not having enough people to answer the phones. I am becoming quite ill because not because I can’t see a doctor, but because I can’t even speak to anyone at the surgery.

    Red Tractor Officially Scrap The GFC

    Hence RT are suddenly looking rather irrelevant and pointless to the retailers, and now is the time for producer boycotts. I cant Imagine Blenkiron surviving this; Every time he opens his mouth he inflames farmers, and Tacon was put in there with one job to do. Best to get rid of the whole...

    Red Tractor Officially Scrap The GFC

    Yes Tesco et al will be absolutely livid about this. Tacon was put there by the retailers to bring the GFC to the market using RT as the vehicle and She, Blenky and the rest of the board have screwed it up. I think RT is seriously weakened by this and the multiple retailers must be considering...

    Don’t be a slave

    It often seems to me that his talks are taken out of context by certain groups, like the religious right, and used to espouse a particular view that Jordan didn’t intend. I am aware that Jordan suffers from severe depression and has had some really serious health problems within his family...

    Get Yer Toque On!

    I would say that it would be highly likely that t you would be found in 24 hours or less. Is drifting snow much of a killer in your part of the world? It is a risk here due to the terrain. Back in the 80s we had a sudden blizzard that put maybe 2-3 inches of snow down. Yet it drifted to more...

    Get Yer Toque On!

    I remember climbing in the Torridon hills in poor weather and realised that if we missed the path heading eastwards, we would walk for 50 miles before coming to a road. It’s all relative. 50 miles is 15 minutes in a helicopter.

    Get Yer Toque On!

    Ok, I was thinking about survival. I know we talk about our population, but the northern hills and particularly Scotland can be very remote in bad weather. Spade

    The war in Ukraine...

    Quite, but that is the assumption that NATO and the former Soviet bloc have operated under for seventy odd years. Besides, China would not allow them to do that.
