Gifts from suppliers at Christmas.

Anyone else found that it’s very poor this year? We have had one calendar from mason kings who we have never had any dealings with. Times are tough for everyone I guess.

We had one to. I think they must of had a load of cream left over because of the postage strike.

Perhaps, they seem to be recruiting at the moment...I think some will move because of the Arla contract change

I dunno we only milk 80 odd in top gear but it's the seasonality that is going to be a killer as my ladies hit grass and tend to fly on

had about 5 calendars, all went straight in the recycling. Who even uses a calendar these days? A woolly bunnet though, that might get me to buy something off of you.

I love a good calendar, I'll give you my address to forward them on!

Most agricultural suppliers seem to have gone down the wallchart route rather than calendars, and the KWS one is about the only one of them worth having, because it's all room for dates and not 50% taken up with adverts.
One decent diary and a couple of proper calendars from vaguely ag places (bearing factor and an auto-electrical place). And a series of "How's it going? Merry Christmas!" phone calls!

LAMMA in a couple of weeks, I'll try and scrounge enough woolly hats to see the winter out there!
Not being blessed with a naturally insulating thatch on top, I appreciate every woolly hat that comes my way! (And if anyone wanted ideas for the summer, an Ozzy style leather bush hat for keeping the sun off would go down well with me!)

The gift I look for most is a good A4 day to a page diary followed by one good calendar with plenty of room to write on for the kitchen. Pride of place isuallly goes to the Yara calendar but not had that yet

So far 3 calendars, one pocket diary and a rather nice hamper from an energy company.

We obviously don't buy much because we've had b*gger all!

[Spudley]

That's just mean. One Toffee Candy!!
