It gives people as accurate a depiction of farming, as does Carry on Nurse of the NHS. Look at the enterprises and the acreage. Then look at the money spent. The solution to every problem is to throw money at it. It isn't, remotely, a true representation of UK ag. A block of cheddar. It's...

Have seen enough to know it is of no consequence to our business. It's comedy, no more. "If you want entertainment, go see the clowns" (Alan Durban)

What quantifiable impact has he had on your business ? None. If anything it is doing harm. Caleb goes to No 10 and tells the PM that he doesn't like sheep. Lets make farming the comedy act of the food chain. Any MP who gets their farming view from Clarkson's Farm isn't, remotely, going to see...

It's just Top Gear with wellies. Throwing non-farming money about on complete and utter nonsense. How anyone thinks it's a good advert for the industry is beyond me.

So which is it then ? (Clue, it's neither, you are both talking bollox).

only a pinch mind.

Eat what you want, just don't buy it from the cartel. Will anyone pay me to say that ? Thought not. If there's money being made, then there's summat wrong. Advertizing is the crisis of capitalism.

There you go then (y). They should try smaller still . They are taking it into town and flogging it in half pint bottles :) .

Well, yes, but the margins will be what they have always been, and they weren't pushing plant based over cow based till now. What has changed is the environmental imperative; plant based is better for the planet, and is being pushed as such. Scope 3 box ticked.

Agreed. Yet the dairy processors are running their cow based products down and pushing their plant based products. There are reasons for that.

You need to go on the Ara thread and say that. Wear a hard hat though.

Thing is, the dairy processors are getting into plant based alternatives. Which makes it a tad awkward for the industry to criticize them.

Will do some shopper research on that one. Laters. I don't recall anyone putting up firm numbers to back that one up. Because there are no firm numbers to back it up. Smaller the pack size, greater the margin. Basic rule of retailing. Yup. The people who use your vending machine are about as...

It's main selling point, is that it lasts. I have suggested on here in the past that in response to households getting smaller milk should be offered in half pint bottles. I was roundly ridiculed; apparently if folks don't drink a pint of milk a day there is something wrong with them. The case...

Freight is 2% of road traffic and 22% of road emissions, any Government wanting to actually make an impact would be focusing on HGV's. Easier to hit the little people than upset big business though.

They never were the future. If you look at the UK housing stock, electric cars are about as relevant to most of the population as ground source heat pumps.

Don't tell Emma Bridgewater that.
