Try it in North Wales then!Barnsley & South Yorkshire people can be hard to extract money from.
not PC, but spot on !Try it in North Wales then!
It’s like trying buy something off an overtly cautious Jew and sell it on to a Scotsman for a profit, when the Scotsman has brought along his Yorkshire born wife to be in charge of the calculator, just to verify the figure he has already worked out in his head in the five seconds since you named your asking price and he had worked out a mandatory 33% discount. Plus VAT.
It’s WPC to you! And I certainly don’t have spots!not PC, but spot on !
Actually thats true for us as well, the ones that aren't onto shavings yet I usually tell them to use wheat straw as the horses are less likely to eat it, and I think it makes better bedding for all animals anyway. Still couldn't sell above £3.50/bale, and we're generally £3/bale, unless we have to buy inup here cant get the horse brigade to use barley straw in any quantity but from where im siting they wont have to be so choosy next year with less wheat and more sp barley

very southern commentinto feb now, early spring ......... people holding out for a better price, might just lose out.
I’ll settle for a normal spring here. Forgotten the amount of times I had to muck out flooded lambing sheds last Marchinto feb now, early spring ......... people holding out for a better price, might just lose out.
Very daft comment, long way to go until winter is finished.very southern comment
Hardly a daft comment, can easily go the next few months avoiding a freezing or wet spell, regardless of where you are in the country. Who knows what the weather will bringVery daft comment, long way to go until winter is finished.
Has it started yet?Very daft comment, long way to go until winter is finished.
March is a horrible month.Has it started yet?
Just what I said to a non farming acquaintance yesterday when she was asking me if Spring had come early, March usually brings with it the worst of WinterMarch is a horrible month.
