    Which car ?

    I think you might get better value from a RAV4 but they seem hard to get hold of?

    Which car ?

    I think there is wiggle room on the prices - they need to have x number on the road to be able to sell the rest of the range so they have an incentive to do a deal.

    Which car ?

    Haven't had the time to read the whole thread but I have recently got a Suzuki Across - it's a Rav4 with a Suzuki badge. It's a 4x4 hybrid with a battery that you can charge. I would struggle to find a better car of any sort, ticks all the boxes and is plenty fast. They have some better deals...

    “The Worshipful Company of Farmers “

    Yes, I was a participant on the Challenge of Rural Leadership run by the Worshipful Company of Farmers. They were exceptionally generous in their time and support and the course was excellent (I still recall many parts of it). They are a very interesting organisation with some incredible roots...

    This an excellent article by Mr Temple. https://www.angliafarmer.co.uk/2023/05/22/how-uk-farms-could-power-homes-and-businesses/ Biogas plants have much potential in the dairy sector - provided they are built from the farms ability and resources backwards. Tried to tag Mr T but no luck.

    Edinburgh Uni Accommodation.

    I would really recommend student halls for year one (like a giant version of a Travelodge for students run by the university/private company OBO the university) - low hassle good way to mix with people etc. I would imagine quite expensive though. Moving into a house is something you might do...

    Booze cruise to France!

    I am not sure the rules but you may have to pay VAT on the VAT'able value of your car + trailer upfront when entering France (and they will pay it back at their leisure when you leave). This applies to some commercial vehicles and is designed to stop you taking it to France and selling it...

    Asphalt silage clamp

    I haven't seen a 'shiny' asphalt floor like that - does it have aggregate in it? The ability to sculpt the floor to assist the drainage is one of asphalt's biggest advantages.

    Concrete lego blocks for maize clamp

    They make OK silage clamps - but beware of overloading. Your biggest challenge might be that they slip against the base so maybe tie them into the clamp somehow, could you put concrete paving around them outside the wall? I won't mention the Environment Agency but they could argue that you are...

    Family issues....keep the peace?

    Bit of a curveball - have you asked him what he wants? You might find he wants to be left alone to do X Y or Z (but no one has ever asked him and he is scared to ask himself), get it in writing as a job description - you could then tailor a part of the business to meet these tasks which removes...
