I can't comment on early 80's values..... I was primarily interested in chasing girls, or -should that interest not come to fruition- how much ale I could hold in one go.I'm sure that can't be right. I regularly read on here that ground never drops in value, they're not making any more of it you know....
Are you all depressed ?

Why a decade later 1986 was cheaper to buy a whole farm than the early 90s.

I remember a big rough farm at Jedburgh for sale 1500acres £900k not sold for ages.

Hmmmmm, I think I see where I was going wrong, seeing how much ale I could consume before trying to chase the girls when the bar had closed
ah...the classic mistake.Hmmmmm, I think I see where I was going wrong, seeing how much ale I could consume before trying to chase the girls when the bar had closed
Just when they're thinking you'd do at a push, you have to turn away and chunder.
(well, sometimes I'd turn away....)

Aye, some girls thought I was keen the way I held them so tight in the slow dances, truth be told, they were the only thing keeping me upright

I feel I can make a small contribution here.
Do you want to know what happens when you ask for mental health help in a small town in the UK?
You know, when you go to the doctor for help.
First up you are offered fluoxetine, as much as you want. Then you get a pile of paperwork to fill in. Your gp asks the mental health specialist if they've got any free time, they don't. Unless you've tried to kill yourself and recently at that. You get a follow up test for whatever you've done to yourself and you get more paperwork to fill in, or not, nobody cares. Turns out there's group therapy, but it's a small town, so you'll have to travel, and, well, that's where I lost interest. Cured, I guess.
Getting help is an underappreciated challenge.
I should also say that the gp was lovely and offered good advice.

The demise of the mixed farm often creates an insular operation. If I packed up root crops and livestock, I'd have to farm the combinable bit part time and get a job elsewhere. How bloody dull. As it is, we've 2 full time, 2 regular part time and 4 seasonal workers who all get on, get the work done and enjoy the craic. It's what you make it.
Yes Gp 's can be good .......if they are interested in Mh.
Theres another more suitable thread for you Merino perhaps ?
Dealing with depression - suicidal thoughts - Join the conversation (including helpline details)
Is there enough done to give support to people in that state of mind? Even to council people after a person does commit suicide? I know some people never ask for help and it's kinda hard to find out if someone thinks like that. But with farming it is very stressful and well it's a bigger strain...

Most weird thread on TFF for a long time in my book I'm afraid.
I do think that to appreciate the position of someone with genuinely low mood or other mental illness requires two things: insight into that person/their life and also a good deal of empathy. I can't comment on the empathy side of things but this thread does confirm my long-held suspicion that some folk here are from outer space.

I think its an inappropriate thread started inappropriately by someone inappropriate.
but even so, its good to talk
