Had a truck with bald tyres and drivers door hanging off. Declared we should have had notification that the satellite was unable to verify which crop was being grown in which fields. She apologized saying she should have completed the work in June. I noticed a lot of local fields on her app with red dots. And apparently they have 40,000 fields to check. Looks like a freedom of information request is needed to understand why they need to verify cropping when there is no greening. As for their representative driving round countryside in a unroadworthy state does DEFRA not understand it has a responsibility to its customers, it's workers and innocent members of the public if there was an accident.

Bizzarely, late tonight logged onto the ever troublesome Bank App to pay a piddly little bill I'd forgotten about and....hey Presto...it's in. Weird. No email, no 'money in' registering, no 'pending payments' but it's there....approx £234 more than I thought too.....I'll let the cleaner run 5 more mins tomorrow.
 
Once UK left EU. Sovereign country. Own currency. Why would any payment be linked to the Euro?
It’s all linked to 2017, ‘18 and ‘19 is it not - the 10% per year inflation figure won’t come into the future reduced payments.
If you can make the exit scheme work for you and yours it’s probably gunna be best to grab the last of the EU linked cash whilst you can.
