  1. i had an 09 legacy. it ate fuel and wasn't that good in the snow but is ideal for the wife. newer models are more efficient and it's miles better than a crappy Saab.
  2. Agree with all the above posts ....yellow pages and yell.com are a total rip off
  3. If you don't like reading - Watching dvds in a different language helps - most have english subtitles. Worked for me.
  4. Keeping pigs is expensive but very rewarding... The initial set up is expensive with fencing and pig sty (electric fencing works well as most pigs don't have a lot of hair) Feed is also very expensive - feeding twice a day and ensuring they have fresh water hardwork particularly in winter. I kept Oxford Sandy's and Blacks which were delicious and great for spit roasting because they were kept outdoors and had plenty of fat on them. Tamworths were brilliant escape artists. When you do tree jobs in autumn feed them all apples out of peoples gardens - can use wood chip as bedding and although you are not supposed to I gave all my bread vegetable s and dairy product waste to pigs. On the down side, taking them to slaughter is very sad - and they do make a hell of a mess of the ground. Sadly All my pigs are in the freezer now.... I couldn't face another cold winter for them. Hope that helps - Good luck!
