Yeah I've got a few spare

That's pretty rich coming from the mouthy one on here. You may well have had a point in the beginning, but your big gob, insults and childish posts just makes you look like an arrogant pr*ck, and unfortunately as is often the case, a lot of Americans come across that way, so you really shouldn't be surprised that a lot of people stereotype you yanks. We have a way of doing things in the uk you may not be aware of, it's called tact, and it doesn't involve shooting your mouth off

That's how I work, one break a day at very most, sometimes not even that, but it's my business and how I like to work, I don't 'expect' my blokes to work like that, although I always give the option of working on a price, or job and knock, or knock off early if they work through, it's upto them what they want, so long as job gets done, and I'm not having my pants pulled down. Mostly my blokes are very good, will stay a bit late when needed, knock off early if jobs finished and so forth, but they are all military lads, or older blokes with families, it's the young ones I struggle with.

It's simple mate, you can gut rabbits but nothing else to them and your not processing your field dressing, the butcher hangs them in the window in the jacket, sells them that way, most of the folk who buy rabbits want them that way anyhow, all my local butchers sell them like this, not fully dressed, the buyers will mostly be the older generation who are more than capable and happy/want to dress them, it also helps sales hanging in the jacket as the ones who don't do much in the butchers will see them hanging and say, oooh Mavis, look Joe the butcher has rabbits, we used to live on them, am g

That's exactly what he needs, if I could replace him he would be gone months ago ! He is the best worker going when he turns up, but his reliability and self organisation is dreadful believe me, I've advertised, and started lots of new blokes over the years, and they just don't have a good days work in them anymore, when you get one that can work you have to hang onto them and treat them well, I pay top money for the right lads, and look after them, but I would say one in every 20 is worth giving a job.
-
Yeah I've got exactly same problem, I stop at a shop on the way to the job, get whatever I need for the day, they get a can of coke or mars bar, then at 10am they want to go shop for breakfast, then at 1 they want to go for lunch, then in the afternoon they need a drink ffs, I keep saying get your stuff you need for the day ! Not dissapear 10 times a day to the shop. They honestly just cannot think for themselves, it pains me most days how they can be so utterly useless at organising themselves.

And that's the best thing you can give. me and my bro were raised different, mum done my bro who is the eldest, she doted on him and he got everything he ever wanted for nowt, dad took charge with me and I had to work for everything, rewarded when I was good and punished when I was bad. They had no money and we were never spoiled, but I was still paid for jobs helping the old man, he helped me in other ways though, he always done his best for me. Many years on, my brother is still a spoilt, lazy, good for nothing lying scum with no prospects and nowt to call his own. I am s

So you will be classed as a processor and be registered with your local council and have the premises inspected and signed off ?

That's the stuff weekends are made for.nice one on an enjoyable trip. cant believe you didn't wet a line while there though, could have caught your own dinner.

Stav’s got some explaining to do

I feel for you guys, my mrs never bats an eyelid at what I spend or what on, Hookers might be a different story though ? -
He was doing the inside

Rip fella, I enjoyed listening to you, salt of the earth type who will be missed.
-
As above, give them a mix, I use niger seed, sunflower, peanuts, mixed bird and wheat, they also like some cover to dart to, so a tree/bush or hedge close to the feeder helps a lot,

My butchers want them gutted but in the jacket
-
For game dealers and butchers I believe there are no laws or licences involved, I have sold rabbits for many years to butchers and never a problem, dealers take anything and everything in season, again no problem, I've never sold direct to pubs so not certain on that side of things.
-
Where in Bedfordshire are you, I may be able to help if local. Ha, just seen, joined on 28th may, one visit, one post and never been back.
-
Yes, I thought they both looked in very good condition. dont forget the 15hp will always hold a higher value than your 9, personally I prefer the mariner engines, yours does look pretty old, but if looked after they are good engines.
-
I did Kenya a good few yrs back and am in agreement with you, it's the holiday of a lifetime.
-
The things you need to know, age of boat, age of outboard and approximate use, what comes with it, sounds like you have a vhf radio with it, if you can find those out it will make the value much more accurate. Not to piss on anyone's fire but it will not be worth 3 or 4 grand unless it is a pretty new engine and boat. one just sold on gumtree with a 15hp Suzuki engine for 2 grand.

That sign said dartford and you was looking cross the river me ole mucka ?

I enjoyed my time on the blades, but glad I don't do them too often now. I am living the dream, part time farmer, part time 360 operator, wouldn't change it for nowt.

The cartridge may be capable, but his eyesight ain't what it used to be ?

Yes, sorry that's what I meant, the point was previous culls were nothing like what's been set out this year. After reading a few reports and stats, IF they are to be believed, the rate this tb is increasing/spreading is an alarming rate over the last 10 yrs. I'm not 100% upto speed with cattle, but have heard many rumours from dairy and beef farmers around me, it would seem the stats back up the word on the street so to speak.
-
I knew about the previous cull plans, what I wasn't aware of was the price per head on them set at £50. A brief read up suggests most of England will be in eligible areas, and although a few hoops set up, the granting of licences will indeed be happening once the set criterea is met.

Stumbled acrosss this today, anyone know if it's horse shit or some truth in it ? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/05/27/farmers-offered-50-kill-badger-cull-rolled-across-england/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_fb
