I’m not really going to say on an open forum for obvious reasons, but I have two family members who are high up in NHS. Both Doctors, but these days operating at policy level. I was just advised from stopping my old man messing about with chainsaws etc or anything else would could lead to the daft old bugger ended up in hospital. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lamb price had just crashed so I lost about £15,000 over night with more to come, but don’t get any gov help due to nature of buisness. On 7 days a week, live alone, Mrs has gone back to family etc. Wouldnt mind too much being home with my family wondering what I was going to watch next or if I was going to have another beer or not, whilst getting 80% of my wage paid to me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a thick question but why has lamb crashed? Surely a demand for British meat in this country now? Or was most of it exported? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A bit to much red tape now imo. Was watching an Australian programme about rual living. You can call a mobile slaughter man to your small holding, and he will take of business for you as well as the butchering. A great little number if you could do it here.
