mattyg 1,862 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 The midland is just an over priced jumble sale with too many people in full camo and sweating like mad while buying towels Or £6 venison burgers! Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 You just don't get it do you? The antis are closing us down, little by little they are eroding the country way of life. When Bill says to Jan there is a game fair on tomorrow do you fancy a day out? No she replies I seen it on face book, they are all Badger baiters and dog fighters. Bit by bit our way of life is declining through misinformation to those ignorant of the true country way of life. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I judged the Lurchers at this most prestigious event.... What fabulous running dogs back then and the terriers, well,.mostly workers,.they looked it too Great craic,.genuine Boys,.. plenty of beer and a few battles,.....it always felt like home to me... The Show had been in sad decline for many years,...so,...its possibly for the best.... Edited January 19, 2017 by Phil Lloyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haiddheliwr 1,911 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have some good memories there as well Phil! It was two days which were never missed by friends now and some sadly departed! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
