We must be old fashioned. We got feed up with the supermarket not always having Organic Full Fat milk that we have it delivered. Spoke to the roundsman the other dayand they have stopped taking on new customers to ensure they can keep up. Local family business that no longer has cows. I think they made a profit of about £5mill last year on there processing!!

Our local dairy, Graham’s, have put out feelers in the community to see if they will start doing delivery’s for their diary products. I haven’t herd if they are going to or not.

I live in south cheshire, was once the dairy capital of uk. Lots of cheese producers still here and muller. Muller told there suppliers they need to cut supply by 5% .if muller have to collect the 5% farmers get fined. So they're letting it go in the lagoon.
Beef farmers are in the s**t aswell, they've got all this beef getting fatter and needing to be fed

You can only sell unpasteurised milk at the farm gate. Not allowed to deliver it!!

You can also sell pasteurised at the farm gate!!! There are now some vending machines that are popping up in farm gates!!

and that is what killed the milk man ...... that's not profit it's profiteering ......one doesn't mind paying for a service, but at that level it is a LOT more than taking the piss

was forecast wet for Friday, but clearing Sat. a.m. ...... lashed down most of yesterday
....... sun just starting to break through ATM ... cooler than of late .. but a lot warmer than yesterday .. was back in winter clothes, last two days .... after the previous few weeks of lovely weather was a shocking reminder it's only mid April still ...... just grateful for the previous few weeks of sunshine .... would've been grim shut indoors for the last five weeks

Was raw for last few years but he's just put a plant in ....makes sense if he can get it to pay off...get paid about 10p a L from supermarkets or a quid direct...

Our neighbour farmer tried to do delivery from his small herd last year but found it was all too much with farming, bottling and delivering. That is why the local processor has made a fortune!! Farmers want to farm, not deal with Jo Public to the point where Jo can take there product. Keep giving too much to the middleman processor and supermarkets!!

no concrete the last couple of days then @fred
dry, sunny and ........... cold wind ... but no ****ing rain got this finished off in the box ... and back in place ......
and a coat of HBZP oxide on the rest of it yesterday ..... dries as quick as you can get it on there ...
so got followed with a top coat ... well a few actually
...... been extolling Firwood's virtues to you all and damn me if the top coat isn't like coloured piss.never had a can like it ... well pee-ed off with it .... their stuff is usually slap a coat on and admire the job
.... not this time I shall be having words with 'em tomorrow .. strong ones, if they're open
it's taken me three times plus, more time, to get to this ....
still haven't finished the side boards yet ... job for tomorrow ... hopefully last coat ....... not a happy bunny !!!!
combine that with the fact that this was supposed to be a lot closer to the Hydrema's colour and i'm even less happy
Only ever had one problem with them once before ... and was sorted instantly .... the mix man forgot to put the pigment in a 1000 litre batch of red oxide ... opened a bucket and ..... well it weren't red for sure
... three new buckets - next day - no quibblevery disappointed and annoyed at all this extra faff.
plugs and sockets arrived today ... sat on me bench in quarantine 'til tomorrow afternoon ... should be safe enough by then, apparently !!
roll on normal ... will we ever have a 'normal' again ??
all this sterile glove malarkey is wearing a bit thin .... but I have had my patience severely tried today .. bloody good job it's fast drying only plus side of the last couple of day's rain was ... it's washed all the tree pollen down out the air (and the trees hopefully) ... no pollen effects and no nostrils full of tissue filters
