Farm assurance screw up

NFS, I believe had a old bag.....I mean inspector from Ireland doing red tractor pig audits as there was a chronic shortage of UK inspectors. By all accounts she was god awful and pulled lots of farms up on the most ridiculous of things, I dodged the bullet and had a half sensible auditor a fortnight before she landed on her broomstick from Ireland.

I had my RT cereals audit last week which should have been done in November, I got the impression there's a shortage of auditors and they're fed up with the backlash from farmers about how daft it all is.
The chap I had was a perfectly sensible pragmatic type but I still have him a bit of grief about annual sprayer mot when legislation says 3 years and the fact my RT grain can be tipped at a mill and mixed with imported stuff but still come out as RT assured feed.
