    I need john deere buying advice.

    Our 6330 std clutch engages with a sudden jolt every now and then, not dangerous in anyway, but it doesn't sound healthy. However the tractor has done nearly 10K hours now and no tranny work has been done.

    Smoking Ban Legislation Bill

    I'm against any ban on smoking as it is an attack on personal freedoms. If you are 18 or over you should be allowed to purchase and smoke tobacco where you want within reason.

    Engelbert Strauss. Hard wearing, practical and comfortable.

    I don't think people should be penalised, regardless of income.

    Farmers and Universal Credit

    IMO using taxpayers money to help people with children or encourage people to have children is a good thing. It is an investment in the future.

    Farmers and Universal Credit

    Uk birthrate is 1.56 IIRC which is well below replacement rate. So any population growth will be either from immigration or people living longer.

    Reduction in arable acreages

    Change the way they farm. Sell all the young stock before winter, out winter cows on deferred/bale grazing. Send ewes away if possible for example.

    The war in Ukraine...

    Makes you wonder if they only have enough to meet their on perceived requirements. Deliveries ended in 2010 according to Wikipedia.

    Farmers treated the same worldwide.

    Its the history that makes the biggest difference though isn't it. I am sure had Europeans rolled up to Britain 300 years ago we would have similar farming systems. And of course no hedges or stone walls that need ££££ of maintenance every year:rolleyes:

    So is this stagflation?

    Does that include stay at home parents?

    Utilities and H and S

    Your both wrong. It is actually a Per-they basket. Per'son' basic or man basket is considered offensive to people who don't identify as any particular gender.

    Utilities and H and S

    IMO they have probably calculated that that carry on is cheaper that having someone seriously injured or killed.
