The trusty Englebert strauss boots split after 3 years. Thought i would see what all the fuss was about lots of arch support and feel good. Look very chunky. Bg

We had to share with my parents for 3 months. It was a disaster, only do it as a last resort. If the estate had an empty house i would have rented that. Bg

No idea if it’s true but I have been told of schools taking up front payments to cover multiple years. A little different from the school I went to, some of the fees of farmers children were only paid after market day (probably at least a term late) There is a very expensive private school...

I don’t think so. Bg

Listened to an interview a couple of weeks ago. Edinburgh has a massive proportion of privately educated kids I think it was over 40%. The state schools there are already oversubscribed. This labour policy totally works on a theory that numbers of kids in education are dropping. It does not...

That’s all too true, doing excercise has made a massive difference to me, and the mental health benefits of doing exercise away from the farm are unmeasurable. Bg

Drove from wiltshire to northumberland and back last weekend. Was surprised at the number of broken down cars i saw. Think only 1 was a land rover. Bg

When i had my 1st trailed drill we would mark the headland with a cultivator to give a mark. So 4 turns round with a 6m. All on gps now so just go where i like. Very handy with steep fields Bg

Nearly always drill headland last Bg

Think it probably depends on the attitude of the landlord and his agent. Compared with friends who are tenants I think I have a very good relationship, most of the time 😂 Bg

I had a similar situation. For various reasons I couldn’t move into the farmhouse when I succeeded dad. Approached the estate and they agreed that i didn’t have to immediately move. In the end it took about 5 years to move. No harm in asking and get it written down. Bg

There are so many options these days that it’s almost impossible to compare like for like. It’s difficult enough when buying them. Certainly looking at what the internet pays is pointless. A couple of years ago my JD dealer sent a demo 6185r over obviously trying to replace my 724. Was told it’s...

I’d say the size is right. I’m 36,32 and they are just right Bg

work Englebert Strauss fit a treat and hard wearing. Going out levi’s usually 511, Amazon the cheapest. Bg

It’s personal preference, have a hire 6215r at the moment with the old style auto power not command pro, none of us like it. TBH if either dealer packed up i’d just buy the other make. Bg
