    Italy's in shut down

    If Italy is in shut down .....how is it that reporters from all over the world can suddenly arrive there to report ? I'm just hope that the Vegan bandwagon doesn't try ,by some means, to link it to livestock however tenuously just to cause doubt and mischief !

    weaving tine drill question

    how much air should be coming out of coulters when fan is flat out 1000rpm. with an accord/JD 750 fan the air blast absolutely throws wheat or even beans out with gusto.

    Boris (again)

    Although the EU election results are not in yet, have the Tories no other option than to give Boris the throne, in the hope of putting Nigel back in his box again and stopping the party sinking into oblivion? Oh well. More of the agenda of it being all about the party and not the country.
