Yep. Some farmers may need to have a think, and most should at least check out their landscape, and I understand that for some it will be a shock to the system (especially those who have grown used to a bucolic existence where there was no need really to think much about anything).

I remember such conversations being had in public, on phone ins like the one I was listening to today...

I think they are entitled to engage with this, of course, but there is a strong whiff of entitlement from some of them. Yes I have a good pension but if I wanted to pass on a million pound property (I don't have a million pound property, by the way) I would be clobbered in tax. What the...

I was much worse 20 years ago. :LOL: Anyway, I am not remotely angry. I am raising an eyebrow at the gormless entitlement I am hearing on the radio. "I am going to have to talk to my accountant now" was a recent comment on the phone in. Shocking scenes. :facepalm: Look, nobody likes change...

Anyway, Farmers have been buggered by Brexit apparently. According to, er, farmers. https://www.fwi.co.uk/news/eu-referendum/analysis-7-years-after-brexit-farmers-count-the-cost

According to a farmer on the radio, farmers are paying 'twice as much as everyone else'. Crikey. Every day is a school day.

Do some reading - you'll soon catch up!

I would fully expect it. And I am not optimistic that my conversations with some turkey's about Christmas will go down all that well, either. Nevertheless.....

Nicky Campbell's phone-in this morning is on farming. There is a bus load of farmers on their way to London to protest against the introduction of some inheritance tax for farmers. Crikey, what an entitled bunch. They seem to have lived a simple life, with 'very little income' (some saying a...

Radio 2 you say? I remember when radio 2 was good. It had the football commentaries. Bryan Butler, etc. And then the footballs moved to the new station, radio 5.

And Marseilles.

At one point she had a loose connection with cricket.

Numbers schmumbers. He was 9, not 5. So 29 years ago. (Two of my numbers were 9 and 5; in my anecdote I mixed up his age and my birth month. You can guess the rest (of my numbers)) :wink:

You mean.....I missed out....on a massive win because one week I forgot to buy a ticket? :ohmy: (my recollection was the bonus ball 'counted' only if you got 6 numbers, and there were lots of people with 5 numbers that week.)

....never mention the famous relation when you meet up? I taught, 30 years ago, the brother of someone who became a very famous actress, and we occasionally catch up for a chat, but in all these years I have never once mentioned his sister. Badge of honour.

Reminds me of all those holes in one on wordle when it first started.

I had 5 numbers and the bonus the week I didn't do it, about 3 years after it started, but the prize for that was only about £150. That made me realize what a waste of time and money it was and haven't done it since.... One of my numbers was my son's age when I started doing it. 5. He's 38 now...

Now you know why you always feel skint in March ??? :wink:

I've done that at Fulham. With @The Clown of Pevensey Bay some years ago. It was very quiet. :lolol:
