what grinds your gears

Then the "Conserve water" activists would be on the warpath!
So far as I am aware there is no way to "Conserve" water - It can change it's state from ice, to liquid or vapour and can be saltwater or freshwater or dirty water or potable water but i really don't see how you can conserve it.

A bit like "Saving" life really - A life is a life, all we can do is try and extend it and it's quality.

Farmers moan when machinery dealers charge likewise for fitter callouts.

when you pay a pound a minute and get monkeys its frustrating we had the dealer to fix the brakes on a tractor they came out striped down the tractor one side then put it back when asked why they didn't replace the worn parts they said they didn't have the parts they striped down the other side and put it back together came back with the parts two days later put all new parts in and lost the brakes on one side they said it must be the trailer braking valve then the master cylinder what it was as they had not screwed in the bleed screw they were told in the first place the brakes were knackered they should have brought the pars in the first place

Unsurprisingly, the lack of CO2 was an item on the Jeremy Whine show today.
Majored on the fact it was used in the slaughter of chickens & pigs ......
What really annoyed me was the fact that he chose to sign off his programme by reading out 2 missives from "listeners" imploring the public to go vegan to "end the suffering" as pigs "gasp for air, their throats burning"
He had previously read out stuff from people who worked "in the trade" but had worded their responses so poorly as to be almost incoherent

Talk about propaganda and we are told that the BBC does not have an agenda.

Man should be sacked

Had a ton and half of seed to be delivered today.got a call from driver saying trees too low and he would not come to farm so I had to go a mile with telehandler to collect.told driver I’ve had several trucks like his,15ft tall tautliners doing deliveries but he would not hear of it and ranted and blamed me.the trees are not even mine and a neighbor regularly has huge livestock trucks collecting and delivering pigs So no issues there either.

Have you seen the video about him by that Belfield bloke on YouTube? He’s a nasty piece of work if that’s true. (Need a vpn set to a non Uk country as it seems to of been disappeared for us UK viewers)

Specifically mentioned Vine on the reason for cancelling my tv licence last week.

Puncture on tractor then grain merchant rings wanting a load just when I want to combine beans this afternoon. Maybe if I rush I will get the beans done in time after having taken the other tractor off the plough for the trailers. There is never a day with a straightforward job without two other things going on at the same time and it all being an unseemly mad rush where you can’t enjoy the job or attend to everything properly.
