    A fair amount of the 'data' used to promote these things wouldn't be of a standard to pass an O level. They do not follow the scientific process, and often don't seem to realise their own limitations.

    Just spent 1/2 an hour on a farming forum reading about bovaer and they are not happy. A natural food produced sustainably now being tainted with added chemicals in a forlorn drive to net zero

    I have absolutely no stake in this milk argument, but you must've posted a variant of this a hundred times over the years on different subjects and about different scientists or experts. I'm not sure any one person could ever be qualified and aware enough to confidently dismiss the findings of as many scientists as you do.

    I know enough to spot poor science and poor use of data, and I'm certainly qualified and experienced enough to do that.

    The farmers are rightly concerned and there are plenty questioning the testing in here if you're interested.

    Just in the name of accuracy, Bill Gates has nothing to do with Bovaer, it’s one of those internet stories shared millions of times despite not being true.

    Correct. But he endorses it fully and has invested millions in a company producing the same.

    Nice storm coming this weekend.

    I see the met office has put out a danger to life. They probably consider someone running a bath worthy of a red weather warning.

    Expecting a full report comparing the two crossings. Cost, cabins, shops, entertainment, bar facilities, and food options. And anything else I have forgotten or of note.

    I’d prefer to hear about a night of exploits in Amsterdam, but each to their own!

    Which reminds me of a poster on Amber Nectar who used to post a blow by blow account, ahem, of his weekend trip(s) to London. Funny as ****.

    Nobody on here I assume?
