You mean, grumpy old barstewrad Mull!  What's got your goat...  Raining up there again??  Come on now, Spring is in the air, it's a time of new growth, anticipation, and boundless optimism (even in Scotland ???)

I think optimism might be illegal in Scotland.

Hey Mull,

Have a good day my farmer bashing friend.

That's inaccurate and unfair my grumpy Northern friend...

 

It's not "bashing", it's an observation that bemoaning a situation that (in some circumstances could be considered to be of the complainants own making) is not always conducive to the unconditional sympathies of other business sectors -  especially when other business sectors (a) don't tend to moan so much and (b) don't have a fraction of the systemic advantages of the agricultural sector...

 

You live in the Islands, it's cold, the grass doesn't grow so quick, it makes you grumpy, this isn't a farming forum.....

 

Ummmmm......  Not sure where else to go with that.....  ??

At least one thing we can be sure of in this whole nerve gas thing.

 

Yulia Skripal should stick with the red hair.

 

Much better.

Politics (and farming) touches all aspects of life, we are agreed ???

There seems to be a universal law that the more public money a group of people get the more they complain and ask for more money....

It's always "somebody else's fault" and "somebody else's responsibility to fix it."

A good result!
