Down in South-Wales at in-laws ... taking middle girl back to Cardiff Uni on Friday and we go home on Saturday ... got the joys of Eunice to look forward to over the next few days...


I've got to drive over the Severn Brdge around mid day tomorrow during possible 80mph winds in a five metre high motorhome laden up with three children.

Looking forward to that.

They are just a product.

Farms are factories in the countryside.

They'll use the product until it can produce no more then they'll dispose of it as cheaply as possible.

Rinse and repeat.

I'm not a great fan of farmers.

No excuse to abuse the animals though mate. Hitting and kicking them, as well as using tools such as spades to beat them.

As I said earlier in the thread, I don't really have much in the way of dairy products, ie no butter or cheese. I do have milk in the ocassional tea, looking to maybe substitute that for hemp seed milk, you ever tried that stuff?

Or

Another aternative that is Barista oat milk.

Completely agree. Something is very wrong about this place.
Thing about these farms is that a lot of them are owned by big money that have nothing to do with the day to day running of the farm.
Think there was mention of a farm manager so this backs that up.
We all know that big money won't really give a **** about animal welfare, they'll just be looking at profits.

Almond milk is the bollocks.
 
35 year old Brit killed by a 15ft Great White off Sydney coast - Little Bay - some footage on YouTube - not for the faint of heart- legless body floating face down off shore - like a scene from Jaws - poor ****er - supposed to be safe due to safety nets etc <yikes>

Not sure they have nets In Aus?

In fact fairly sure they don't, as they are harmful to the sharks.
 
Sounds great.

Where do you fly to for that, Turin?
We're doing Luton - Geneva.

It's about 1h-45m transfer through the Mont Blanc tunnel and arriving early Monday morning it's off peak so nearly half price. Slightly more going back but still off peak if you avoid weekends <ok>

If all goes to plan first run will be around 12-30 ish Monday then pick up at 5pm Thursday to come back.
