i came across a trill seeking farmer yesterday , was after this JD tractor it had a 5 sod plough on with no weight on front the tractor was doing a lot of swinging and dancing on a back road , came to first round- a- bout not t bad , but 50 yards more it came to a 3 lean round- a- bout on a duel- carriageway when he got a chance to go the tractor lifted of the ground and went swinging over all 3 lanes stopping all traffic as when the tractor would lift the plough would swing out to the left ,
some farmers are just silly in the chances they take and this was at drive time ,

There's an interesting marketing story about Trill.

A few years ago, some marketing men were recruited by Trill to try to grow sales of the ubiquitous birdseed. They duly carried out market research etc but found that the product had such a dominant market share (>70% of all bird seed sales) that even an extensive (and expensive) advertising campaign would yield very few additional new customers.

Instead, they came up with an ingenious solution.....

On each pack of Trill, they printed the words "An Only Budgie is a Lonely Budgie". Straightaway, hundreds of budgie owners went out and bought a second, companion budgie. Immediately sales of Trill went through the roof as there were twice the number of budgies to feed.:)
