[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 7793558, member: 45282"] This thread opens up a few lines of thought for me, mainly: 1. It's amazing how farmers views differ if they are selling & delivering versus buying stuff and wanting it delivered. Happy to moan about customers wanting small deliveries and wanting the deliveries done in a certain way, but (ime) expecting to get stuff delivered at the drop of a hat, at a set time and in a specific way even for small amounts eg "I need 3 tonnes of cake before afternoon milking tomorrow, but not before 9.30 in the morning as the cows will still be in the yard" 2. Farmers are quick to moan about people "skiving on benefits" or celebs or politicians using legal tax avoidance schemes, whilst bragging about "no VAT on beer tokens" 3. Farmers being totally unaware that Tax or Customs & Excise officials might take a look at a thread like this. I'd love to see how farmers would react if, for instance, their local meat plant said they'd only take a minimum of 20 fat cattle or 100 lambs at a time, and only at 5.00 pm on a Friday, the grain buyer said all lorries had to be loaded within 30 minutes of arrival or there'd be a £100/hr "waiting time" charge, and milk processors said they'd only collect Mon-Friday!
