@Muddyroads chap on the left is left handed isn't he? If so, how does he get on with finding left handed combs?
He is. I joked it was their way of social distancing! I meant to ask about any issues it caused him but didn’t get to it. Bearing in mind he’s the joint world record holder for the most shorn by 2 people in 8 hours, I guess he’s found a way around it.

Wet day jobs:

Needed to make a modification to a trailer we use for muck and holds our Home-saved seed from harvest until the seed-cleaners come.
I put a hydraulic tailgate on it last year, but the hydraulic rams will creep open during the wait. So first I washed it ready for harvest, then fitted these to it

I did the washing yesterday. As I got rather wet, I thought I wash all these too:

No chance of fitting the row-crops to this yet as the ground is far too wet.
The truck that brings the Chem’s has been 3 times and I haven’t been able to get the last lots on before it turns up again.
Today, he brought BLW herbicides that will be mixed with the T2’s. That is what a wet May does here!

Nice job!

Our hydraulic trailers have a valve that stops the tailgate opening without the trailer being lifted. I've never had trouble with them opening and I've always put it down to that - it's a good safety mechanism too.

See those lovely roof Pantiles always makes me chuckle.

I remember Cyril Fletcher form “That’s Life” reading an advert from the Classifieds section the East Anglian Daily Times:
500 Suffolk Panties for sale!


Try Googling Suffolk Panties and see what comes up as “Images for Suffolk Panties” to see what I mean.
Now press the “view all” button!!!!!!

Confused or what?
