What’s the saying” Buyer beware” it is in the horse world

Winter Bird Mixture plus Supplementary Feeding plus No Insecticide plus Hedges and DD payment? £1340/ha plus Hedges per year? Is this still available my head is in a spin ,got lots of notes after meeting with land agent.

We can all jump up and down,but we are where we are,flat broke.Starmer still writing chqs out we can’t afford according to Reeves.Figures can be whatever this goverment want .Until someone says enough is enough it is going to get worse.Let’s face it are we the fools working all hours ,Lots don’t...

Go and explain the hedge is there for a reason ,you don’t mine it cut tidy but due to environmental policies you have signed up to the hedge has to stay.

Well if Starmer wants everyone to own a house on low wages,he had better come up with a plan on interest rates.He wants growth ,money is required for growth not the Micky mouse money on the stock market.I have just read on a local Fb page that our local council is handing out thousands to...

With all the uncertainly over different tax rules,prices and farming low on labours priority is it worth the hassle,

On the pension front,luckily my banking career started pre 1975 and I get a defined benefit pension when I turned £60 .Staff joining the bank after 1975 have a lovely clawback on their pension once they hit 67 pension age a shock for some

Are teachers leaving because the kids have no respect anymore ,because no one can tell them off.

Another thing that needs looking at is retirement age in the public sector ,if you want to retire at 55 ok but you get your public sector pension at 67 .Final salary pensions have cost companies and the public sector a bill that they can’t afford .All my asts and fhl s are up for sale I can’t...
