Out of interest, why would you need to belong to both?

Slight change of thread, but I always remember the safety briefing on a yacht handling course for beginners. The only experienced guy on board said he would take charge if anyone went overboard and turn the boat around on a sixpence to pick them up. None of the rest of us had a clue to drop...

Very sorry to read that indeed. Wishing you a speedy recovery, all the very best.

Described as enriched mushroom compost. Wonder by what, but I hope it doesn't catch on. I'm not a fan...

You were too smug yesterday, sorry! Yep, wind shifted a bit, and field about 10m from us ploughed in so much fresher. Is that Whitton and Frost who sell it? They appear to have a permanent heap near their yard. Evil stuff, on a par with chicken muck.

Thanks, they're true to their word for which we're grateful, and ploughing this morning, and wouldn't want to harm relationship either. Tbf they're ok really, we live in their back yard, and understand what needs doing to scratch a living in ag ( and if we fell out, we would come a distant...

Thanks, too much information there. Not easy to avoid, houses are sealed as much as possible. Even considered packing bags and leaving for the night!

9mm in my part of Suffolk, very welcome tbh. Apologies to those inconvenienced…

News today won’t help ham sales? Or is it just todays health headline…

Tbf, his mate was right behind with the bar. Driver was even making for the gap in the crash barriers! First instinct for me would be to get past, assuming no one hurt, before plod shut the dual carriageway for hours. Not sure the driver would want that dashcam as evidence either..

Sorry, not getting at anything really, just an observation. But not the right thread to reminisce, no axe at all to grind. I just remember the Camgrain/Fengrain partnership of old seemed to set the standard in the days before the big guns ruled the roost as they do today.

Yes. I just remember, from the outside, how good Fengrain were…
