Charlie (Harry's son) works at a well-known classic car dealership in the Cotswolds.

That's what my wife keeps telling me too.

Barbados, Antigua, Denpasar etc. Still, you run along now. You seem to be exercising the limits of your vocabulary and I'm quite sure you have rocks to break or something like that. Have fun, petal. 😉

* You're

No Yes, definitely. Now, have you always been an idiot? Or just more recently?

Did Mo Farah ever claim to be vegetarian or vegan? I can't find any evidence that he did. The advertising campaign he took part in was promoting the use of Quorn in high protein diets for athletes. Also, his association with Quorn appears to have ended in early 2017, almost 4 years ago...

Until their financial alchemy backfired spectacularly you mean? The whole Porsche/VAG debacle is now the defacto case study in why you should avoid biting off more than you can chew. AGCO are not going to buy Trimble, end of.

Errr, are you sure about that? AGCO and Trimble are both publicly listed companies, but Trimble is more than twice the size of AGCO in terms of market capitalisation, with agriculture being a minor part of their product offering. To put it in perspective, AGCO are closer in market size to...

Yes, fair comment, but most hobbies have some sort of responsibility. Stamp collectors have a moral duty to curate and look after those little squares of history. An angler has to fish responsibly and look after the welfare of the fish, whether he plans to eat them or plans to release them...

My advice as someone in a similar position to you, is never to let it become anything more than a hobby! If you do, you will turn into a miserable, depressed, insufferable cretin who is hated by your family. Or, a "proper farmer" as they are sometimes known. It nearly cost me my marriage, and...

The Q7 isn't the prettiest car on the road, nor is it in any way enjoyable to drive. The interior is light years ahead of the 992 that I have just bought though, by a long way. The Audi feels solid, where the Porsche feels built to a price. The Audi was around 1/3rd of the price. :/

Audi Q7. On our second one in a row, which is the first time we've ever replaced the family car with another of the same. It's a dreadfully numb thing to drive, but it's been a brilliant family workhorse and ferried our kids around in total safety.

Weather forecasters have had their hands tied behind their back this year. The vast majority of the data they use comes from commercial airliners, most of which send a nearly real-time feed of information on atmospheric conditions back to base, via ARINC/ACARS and other communications networks...

Yeah, it's about that level.

What the f**k? I'm assuming its that.

Given your description I would start by climbing on top and checking if the conrods are still where they are supposed to be.

Neither combine harvesters, aeroplanes or 4x4s are necessary. They were all popularised at around the same time and for the same reasons - convenience. Given the choice I'll give up bread and beer long before I'll voluntarily surrender the convenience of having breakfast and dinner with my...

Depends where you are I suppose. A purely arable farm in the South of England? Probably not. Up here in Scotland it's a different world. We don't have the climate for breadmaking wheats, and Group 3 milling is hardly worth growing for the measly premium even assuming you can get it in spec...

It seems to depend on time of day for me. Most of the day it is pretty responsive, but sometimes between 8pm and 10pm (ish) it can be like wading through treacle. I'm wondering if there is a batch process or backup routine that kicks off around that time.

I dunno why you're all so keen to talk to a bank manager. If any of mine ever come to see me it's either a) they want me to start paying money back, or b) want to give me more money. I don't want to have the former conversation, and I probably shouldn't be allowed to have the latter.
