If it reaches 50 pages I,m going to turn it into a novel, it,s got everything......the evil agent working for the sinister organisation,{Glen and the KC],the heroes standing up for the ordinary people,[WCM Fireman] the love interest [Glen and Glen] the victim [ Thurso jack whos still waiting for an answer] it could be next years best seller.
I,m not a digging man ,but the way I see it is ,the fact that people on this site work them and are keen enough to argue and defend the breed against its detractors,bodes well for the future,if these people continue to work and breed workers, then a standard true breeding Plummer will surely evolve naturally. The problems seem to come with the rush for KC recognition and unifomity of size ,colour etc. Why the rush?
Fireman..well that explains your antagonistic attitude,however I,m from Liverpool and my name is Stanley [my sister in law spells it stainlee on xmas cards etc],interestingly I was considering using the name Fireman as I am an ex fireman. I am not nor ever have been MB.

WCM..Idon,t know Glen, I was messing with you..but your right I,ll keep my nose out .....sorry Fireman..explanation please re jacking,summer hare hunting.
England arn,t worthy of the support they get, they are a bunch of overpaid , moaning, whinging, cheating, diving, injury feigning, excuse making ,posing prima donna,s and they can all kiss my big,fat,hairy,nut brown arse.
