Just whatch Ollie Harrison complaining about interest rates , has he a point?
Raising rates hits those with borrowed money These people will have less disposable cash as a percentage of their profit goes in repayments ect

The big 4 have learnt during Covid and from Aldi and Lidl
If a product runs out consumers moan but buys something else
Having choice is expensive Aldi and Lidl stores are well stocked with single lines so don’t need huge shops and warehouses
How many large supermarkets are being built now
I can’t understand how I’ve such a variation in fuel used from 2 days harvesting
I shall have a look on the combines performance monitor but I always take fuel consumption from it with a pinch of salt
Have been on again today cut 24.6 ha just filled tank tonight 494 l

Small hair’s protruding out of the strap show it’s lost integrity
Corner boards ect should be...
I 've had a Millwaukee for a couple of years The only problem I have had is it does not like some grease cartridges . We had some Morris cartridges which airlocked badly and were impossible to eject without a pair of pliers .I now use either John Deere or Jcb which are great
