Who’s who on TFF ?

[Beetlejuice]

How many people do people actually know on here in person as opposed to just knowing their TFF life? How have you worked out who people are?

 

[Cowabunga]

They are all 'bots. Not an earthling among us.

 

[tepapa]

I've met @Chris F and God aka Clive at Lamma. Does that count?

One or two , bought n sold with one or two but grand scheme of things not many,

 

[Andrew]

I went to college with at least 4 people on here, know another 4 and have met another 5 or 6.

 

[TheTallGuy]

I don't "know" anyone from here. There may be be some whose paths I may have crossed & probably some who I am aware of but haven't made the connection.

I know a few that have been out here working but that's about it. Whenever I go back to the UK I talk to a lot of old mates that are farmers or involved in farming and I'm always surprised by the fact none of them have heard of TFF.

Do any of the growing number of YouTube vloggers from the UK do TFF?

Perhaps everyone is on here but doesn't admit it?

 

[choochter]

What's a vlogger?

 

[teslacoils]

I expect a few nearby know me. But in general I don't socialise much, and generally not with other farmers.

 

[Cowabunga]

What's a vlogger?

A logger with a particular type of saw.

I’ve had the (dubious?) pleasure of meeting a few and I think every one has been exactly as I would have imagined them to be from their TFF persona. However, I’ve not gone out of my way to make the acquaintance of any of those posters that I might consider tw*ts from their ramblings on here. Generally, if you interact with posters for long enough, I think their real personalities tend to show through, for better or worse.

As in all ‘communities’, you get all sorts contributing here, which is surely a good thing in the grand scheme?

 

[Al R]

Know 45-50 anyway, some very well and then some met once or twice.

 

[J 1177]

I know 5 or six on here one or two know who I am plus lurking ones.

You must get around some.

I wonder if this is a record outside on management?

Interesting question... I've done business with some, a couple contacted via TFF. I know a few more from the surrounding area, but knew them from the pub or via friends before I realised who they are on here, only one posts anything approaching regularly. And I've cousins that lurk...

 

[Cowabunga]

And I've cousins that lurk...

Isn't that against the law? Or am I thinking of something else?

Don’t leave the vicinity at all now except for the very odd rare occasion. Actually the more I think of it the number could be a lot higher?

Should be for at least one of them; it depends where you do it and whether or not you get caught.

 

[kfpben]

I know 3 that I know of in real life, one from pre TFF, one I worked a lambing for and one I buy tups off.

 

[Dukes Fit]

Have met 3 members through here socially, traded with two and know a couple by their location
