All part of his healthy diet, rabbit and chips washed down with cans of coke

A silt trap would be the sensible thing to do, but sadly those in authority rarely do sensible.

Think that black twin wall might have a better chance of taking that water than the blue pipe sticking out of the ground. But on a more serious note would that pipe be the one that takes the water that cascades onto the road during heavy rain from the field that's the top side of the road? Its...

Yes 2013 was a bugger, didn't cop it as bad as many only about knee high here but that was more than enough. Lots of stories about shed roofs collapsing under the weight of snow and they weren't all rickety shacks either, one not far from here was a fairly new 16,000 (I think) head chicken shed...

Its under UA16 good animal welfare you need to complete online competency training to be able to carry out lameness and body condition scoring, keep records of all lame stock and enter those records onto WG online portal.

Perhaps its already been said by someone but together with TB NVZs and the data gathered from the universal actions this SFS is/could be a big step towards state control of Welsh agriculture maybe not all out nationalisation but it could soon get to the point of not being able to level a mole...
