Got a letter in from the Bank, saying there had been times since Feb 2015 when they could've offered a lower rate, but didn't, and so were refunding about £900 (inc interest) 😲
Is this some kind of PPI type thing, that's passed me by, where they've been forced to do this?
I can't think of an...

Heard this said plenty of times, but really if you have a small farm turning over a relatively small amount say £1-200k you are only ever going to be able to make so much money no matter how efficient you are or how well you sell your produce. The only way to increase profits is to increase...
