Anyone else been asked to provide a mugshot because you have bought fertiliser?

As above really, text came through this afternoon asking for a 'farmers photo'

I rang my dealer (a lady) immediately and without preamble she said "No, I don't want an unclothed picture"

I am tempted to use one of a celebrity as we have never met and I don't want to shatter her delusions.

already done that.

No, sadly no lady has ever asked for my photo.
But I did once go into the local 8 'till late for some smokes, dressed up for a dinner dance, velvet jacket, bow tie and all, instead of my usual wellies and dirty jeans. I do believe had I not already had a date, the girl in there would have done a Wonderwoman style transformation and shut up the shop there and then.
But it was a very long time ago, and age distorts memories.

According to the dealer this is a government directive by the way.

Balkocks.
Ask to see the Statutory Instrument.

It says AIC and FIAS, the Fertiliser Industry Trading Scheme have insisted and she will soon be having an inspection so needed ducks in a row quick.

RT for fert dealers?

Someone at work provided this photo for the org chart.

I seem to be the only person who noticed his striking resemblance to Matt Berry's character on The IT Crowd.

She needs a picture for compliance, any old random picture, not some form of official ID? Yeah right. No she is getting to a certain age, she is keen to hunt down a well resourced mate before running out of eggs... You must feature high in her fertiliser sales accounts, not necessarily the highest but perhaps one that doesnt sound like a pr*ck on the phone....

its the thin end of the wedge or realistically about 1/2 way up it . its one thing having a photo taken of your front door on a delivery but a different thing having one of you,

I think that in this case her grandchildren wouldn't welcome any more eggs fertilised.

What is a photo of you supposed to show/prove? I’ve heard of nothing else like it, or been told of it coming in, it sounds like complete tosh to me!
What Fert is it are they claiming it is needed for, AN? Or Urea?
Has it been delivered already? Do they need a photo of the lorry driver and loader driver as well?! If not why not?!
If this isn’t some sort of bad joke it’s beginning (along with all the other nonsense) to make going organic look rather more attractive!

Please fine out what has prompted them to make this company policy, as I’m sure it isn’t a legal requirement. If they claim it is a legal requirement please get them to show you the registration that requires it and post it on here.

Gerry is out of the fertilizer business ......i think
But if there is money to be made and a border to exploit and rules to be broken then im sure his fellow travellers will ad fertilizer to their business interests

This will help to weed out the legit operators, happy to send a snap, and anyone buying the slightly more expensive 15:10:10 either because they are not photogenic or something else.

Pulled down a bunch of old grain bins last week. All gone to the scrap yard and before they except any delivery there it’s a form to fill out of how you came by the scrap and a photo of the load and a mugshot. Government idea on how to reduce theft of copper and catalytic converters.
