I was told similar about ragwort, that it was more significant in breeding cattle and horses because it took longer to have effect.

Perhaps it wouldn't be a concern in a commercial beef herd: the abattoir would get the beasts at 18-30 months before the cancer did. Just a cynical thought.

Morning all, Had a really productive day yesterday. Felled a row of conifers, dissecting round a climbing rose, then used branches and three trunks to make a trellis for it. Crown cleaned a lime. Not sure about today, maybe rain, maybe get more done. Stay safe all.

It is and most cattle won't eat it, which is why the trampling was referred to. There were liver cancers found after people had been eating it in Japan and even Wales during WW2 IIRC.

I remember the Malthusian prophecy from GCSE geography!

Morning, nice fresh day here. Physio then off to sort out storm damage. Stay safe guys.

In my brief farming life many years ago we were told by stock men that bracken was carcinogenic and under no circumstances should stock be allowed to eat it. Looks like that was rustic myth then...

@nepia Yes I have, however after several years travel from Dorking to Bracknell via the dogs dinner at lightwater the place still gives me the shivers as a morning bottleneck, mayhem. On the return I'll probably M40, M404,M4, A329 then cross country through Knaphill etc.

@Bob_z_l Have you thought of M25, M3, A322 to Bracknell, A329M to M4, M4 to A34, A34 to Oxon?

Up and away to Heathrow for Tom's next DnD adventure. Sick Week takes up a load of time at the strips around Tenesee and Alabama. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50674091 Piece, Whooper.

He'll open the cavity walls if I hide food so that's not happening. I have an even clearer than usual day tomorrow so a big walk for a great reset I think. I now retire for another beer and to throw the squeaky elephant (replacement for the squeaky reindeer) for him.

It’s not food. It is a toy with a small reward. you could do a favourite toy or just something else but the work is using his nose and the reward might be play, making a fuss or in Kira’s case a treat.

Just my 2pence worth, but nearly all the carb problems that I see these days are the result of Ethanol in the fuel. It's just so damaging to so many different substances in so many different ways and has ruined countless engines around the globe, and is only really in the fuel so that our corrupt, stupid leaders can tick some crazy ' green ' box while they cut down nature in order to plant palm trees to satisfy this madness. To this end I've been using fuel stabiliser in all my small engines for at least 15 years.. with no probs, Fuel will stay fresh for years and it costs next to nothing... My 2 recommendations would be Ethanol shield and Briggs and Stratton ' fuel fit ' 👍 And btw if you find yourself forced to by a new carb you might as well buy it from China and wait a bit as it would seem that's where they're made... so under £20 delivered or + £100 at your main dealer. Bear in mind that an ultrasonic cleaner can often dissolve these blockages behind welsh plugs, but only with the right solvent... so to that end I usually place the carb body in a jam jar with far less solvent than filling the whole tub and then place it in the hot water of the US cleaner for a decent time.. ..make sure the lid is loose.... which solvent?.. tried many.. feck knows😁
