Hadfields

Remember some good prices on that coming out the back of Fisons. Plymouth in the mid 60s.

e.g. Nov 1965 36t 15-15-15 £23-16-9 (£23.84).

Local Hadfields agent then ran two 9t flatbeds but sensibly, just like Stobarts, got out of agriculture and into supermarket central distribution with an enormous fleet of artics.

If only we could turn the clock back to when it was ICI, UKF and Norsk Hydro, I'm sure the time of my life was in the 80s, even if we didn't have then what we have now

And get polluted rain for sulphur!

If their American business is so great I wish they’d do us all a favour and fuk off back there

Fine if someone takes over their UK plants, otherwise that leaves us fairly high and dry, with no domestics N production, and solely reliant on imports…… not ideal?
