Yeah, I was wondering about mushies as I wrote that. I'm sure they weren't consumed by the masses. A few on the fridges like druids and witches undoubtedly. I'll be interested to learn more if you fancy researching the history of recreational drug use in the UK.

Guessing that was almost exclusively an indulgence of the upper class. I don't think the hoi polloi would have been able to afford such exotica back then. They'd have been restricted to plain old alcohol, beer/cider/mead or dirty old gin. It's all changed now though of course, since the international drug trade has become a huge industry, the prices have come right down.

If I do you can open a sweepstake on how many pages it manages before descending to chaos. I'll go in at only 3.

It seems like Bracken is a villain of the piece here. Is there any effective control for it, other than herbicides presumably? Does anything eat it in sufficient quantities?

I, for one, hadn't realised quite how important a role trace elements like potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen played in determining the ecology of a habitat. Interesting.

Echo that, thanks OSM.

Well there you go, another school day. Thanks. This year's apparent ladybird plague has passed me by as well. Will there be another 'invasion' of 'biting' ladybirds like in the summer of 1976? | Countryfile.com WWW.COUNTRYFILE.COM Footage of swarming ladybirds across the UK has been going viral – but are there actually more of them than usual?
-
Eh, why? Thirsty or something?

I know. A truly vintage year in all respects. Some might say. 🤔

1976. I'm sure they were around in 1985, but I was posing a question to any older farts as to whether they were in widespread use then. I wasn't taking much notice at the time.
-
Nice pun. Looks like a classic strimmer bite to me. Not sure if they were in widespread use 40 years ago though.

I think you're 50 years too late for that mate. Most look like this these days.

No, I think you should persevere, and post the results up on the cooking thread. That winter stew sounds good. It was a few years ago now, but I don't remember them tasting too gamey at all. The old cliché - just tasted like chicken, but a bit more interesting.

Yeah nice, so it is.
