Yes, your right early morning waiting to go for a gastroscopy obviously not thinking too well. There were rumblings among our Continental customers with imports being banned long before it was taken seriously in the UK. Regardless of legislation they should never have been feeding the stuff to...

I'm guessing it started around 1946 and finished in 1978 when the effects of BSE really kicked in and killed the export of breeding heifers stone dead knocking over £1000/head of between the Feb and October sales, thanks dairy boys for feeding very young calves MBM, since then Chernobyl -...

So very sad, heartfelt condolences to his loved ones

Merry Christmas every one

uurgh grumf, got the 'Santa' run to do today sort out who's getting what, cards written then go round picking up and distributing stuff to immediate family, I really, really, REALLY just want to go back to bed rather than drive all round Dumfriesshire

Right on cue it has struck, feeling absolutely crap and just wanting to lie down with a bottle of 'festive spirit' but there's no chance will be running around like an idiot until Christmas lunch. any fellow sufferers out there?

My one and only post on this topic ANYWHERE!! How the feck can these ex spurts and ad vicers claim to be able to help/advise when the f**king rules haven't been written yet, whole load of chancers scamming money for talking utter drivel, anything else is all just speculation so the market men...

Son's lambing started this morning. Well, I say 'lambing' and I'm assured he did indeed remove it from a Texel gimmer but it looks more like a full grown Clydesdale to me :eek: :scratchhead:gee-up lambie. Apparently he's called Chaos, the gimmer is calling it something else right now, when...

Are HMG going to let farming go to the wall? Yup out of ignorance rather than antpathy Have they let it happen before. Yup 1930s. It isn't a result of Brexit this has been coming forabout 30yrs as the population becomes more and more disconnected from how their food is produced and farming has...
