From what I can make of it is road tax stays and will increase with inflation, the fuel duty freeze is cancelled and the 5 p per litre the Tory’s took off will be put back on and fuel will increase with inflation aswell irrespective of the price of oil, electric vehicles will be charged 3 p per mile and hybrids will be charged 1.5 p per mile, all to come into effect in September. I could be wrong, but that’s my understanding of it Cheers.

Same lad I got the Tesco stuff off gets a call now and again from Jollie’s pet shop and goes and collects all the split bags and damaged stuff. He gets all sorts of feed, dog, hen , cat, rabbit food, etc. He sells it at the allotments very cheaply, £5 for a sack of dog food, no matter what make or price it was originally. Ive had a couple of sacks of high protein complete dog food off him for the game fowl. I used to go to a big local bakery and I could get as much broken, misshapen loafs, biscuits , cakes , etc for free but last time I went they said it was now against the

Got given a huge bag of pre-packed sandwiches and wraps and bakery products from a lad at the allotments yesterday. He goes to Tesco every night and they give him it all for free. The dogs got some of the beef and chicken, the rest went into the vat with water and fed the poultry. He gets more than he needs and said he will drop some off when he can. A lot of it was still in date, there must be a huge amount of food wastage in this country. Cheers.

Yes mate, we go through loads of it in cooking Onions aswell. Cheers. -
My pal who grows a lot of my plug plants swears by Clover so I’ve gave it a try. I normally grow “garden veg” but this season I’m going to try some show types, leeks, onions and green beans. Ive been recommended to get show seeds from Kings Seeds . Cheers.

I got 55 good size cloves off those garlics. Planted 45 in pots in a poly tunnel and watered them in with a solution of seaweed and covered with glass; Put another 10 in individual pots in the greenhouse; I was recommended to use this Clover compost, it’s 100% Irish peat. First time I’ve used it, I await the results .

I haven’t got all the facts but it seems only one of the accusers has been named out of the “20”. He claims Nigel “sidled up to him 49 years ago, and whispered ‘Hitler was right’ “. The latest nonsense is the Tory’s saying the Reform gold badge on the T shirts is like Hitlers gold medal …. It looks more like an Olympic gold or an FA Cup winners medal, but let’s not let fact get in the way of a lie ! Have these people not heard of Godwins Law ? Cheers.

Many years ago, when tripe was readily available, either free or very cheap from the abattoirs, we would feed blanched tripe to the whippets the day before a race as it was generally considered just a “stomach filler” , and feed them green tripe when we wanted to put a bit of weight on them. We followed what the old boys did, it seemed to work. Did it really ? Who knows. Cheers.

Cheers.

Got these garlics from Lidl today 37p each. last year I got garlic from reputable dealers and I was disappointed with the outcome. I’ll start these in pots in a poly tunnel and probably move them out in the spring. Cheers.

Max should get back on here; I know he won’t, but he should. He asked me to pass on the same advice you’ve given, but I’d rather not get involved Cheers.

Would that be a “ mish-mash” ? Cheers.

You’re welcome Cheers.

The actor took his name from the old Northumberland ballad “ The Chevy Chase” The Chevy chase was a hunting area around the Cheviot hills in the Northumberland and Scottish Borders. The area was disputed and when the Earl Percy of Northumberland had a hunt on the land, the Scottish Earl Douglas took offence and it led to the battle of Otterburn, ( an area I have regularly hunted), and more than 100 men were killed. This led to “The Ballad of Chevy Chase.” An old Northumberland folk song . How an American actor came to use this as his name is beyond me, I thought it was jus

Savage ….moi ??? Perhaps you’re correct; I’ve been known to drink red wine with fish and white wine with beef ! Uncouth, unforgivable behaviour ! Cheers.

As for “The Great Beans Controversy “, all I can add, is why do some people, cafes and restaurants put the beans in a separate ramekin ? Im personally against it, it just means more washing up ! Cheers.

Last time I was in New Zealand, Swanndri were very expensive but were 100% pure wool. Now they are not quite as expensive and are 100% polyester. I may be wrong but I heard production had moved to China ? Cheers.

It might be whoever created the earth coming to tell us it hasn’t worked and they are starting again from scratch….. Cheers.

What’s that got to do with it ? I wasn’t quoting anyone, just making an observation. Evidently they lent Sir John Hall the money to build it and when it was sold they kept a 10% share. Cheers
