No I haven’t. Unfortunately Macallan prices have gone through the roof. Dread to think what a dram of 18 year old costs. Take a good few hours cutting cabbage to buy a bottle
and nice to see a yellow belly making an appearance.
George rang and said he is total agreement with our petition.
Could always do like we did once with cider when stitching corn and have a jar in each corner, I was well gone time we got to the middle thats if we did I don't remember that bit.
The Macallan 18 Year Old Double Cask Whisky
The Macallan treated this 18 Year Old to not just one, but two cask types for its maturation, released as part of the Double Cask series!www.masterofmalt.com
Just over 7 hours cabbage cutting
When are we running the petition ,the ahdb are holding the ballot on the 13th of jan when they have ran their propaganda campaign,of course they are going to disqualify 300 plus of levy payers out of 1400 and any levy payer who can’t be bothered to vote will be deemed to be in favour. They can sort another ballot out after Friday because we will be triggering the potato sector with another trip to the Ivory towers on Friday afternoon.
He has only started saying this because we have continually complained to them that what they were proposing was unfair ,that rule would have stood had it not been challenged,I suppose you will have also heard that if less than 50% cast a vote it will not be valid, also I notice you have not mentioned the fact that they are trying to bar anybody who through no fault of their own cannot pay even like ourselves may have paid hundreds of thousands in the past unless of course you enter into a repayment plan ,and ex ahdb man we were told on Monday that as soon as things get back to normal all these levy payers who cannot pay are going to be put in court ,at least the bailiffs will be kept busy, are you absolutely sure you have left ahdb or is it true once a ahdb employee always ahdb employee.
What is really puzzling is how on earth can 550 or 600 (no one knows the true figure) staff possibly find enough to do, the r and d is farmed out to a third party , there is not that much work to do in farming to warrant such an army of people. It doesn’t help their case when videos appear on you tube of staff larking about, the problem they have is they are proposing a radical change ,how have standards slipped so badly that this action has to be taken, even this wouldn’t have come about had we not started our campaign.
It seems odd that even ex ahbc cant see the that the original survey carried out by the ahdb was a complete sham, it was open to all to comment when it should have been the levy payers. Its also puzzling he doesn't seem to know what they do with all the levy money they take from us.
Simon W he does not want to see so it is a waste of time trying to convince him.
Thats ok henarar if we do win it won’t affect you , you are not in our sector not unless you have been daft enough to start growing veg.
We grow a few beans, jolly nice they are too
I couldn’t agree more ,like I have said we were only 18 acre county council farm ,I don’t want to be farming 3,000 acres but there is no option, I was given a choice of supplying 52 weeks of the year or stand aside and let somebody who can ,even the large grower packers have gone out of business in this area , and the ones who are left struggle to show a profit.
