@Absinthe_Nishi They tried that with me but I worked out the tax they were demanding was to the penny what I sent them the year before on self assessment. They hadnโt reconciled it with the PAYE department. They ended up owing me a similar amount. Totally incompetent
@Sallyinsilk I once complained about burpees as I also hate them so they kindly took them out of the session and replaced them with bastards. I just do the burpees now.
Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
@AllisonPearson I visited the dentist today and I asked why are they so much more expensive than Eastern Europe. She told me that wages, rent, business rates, energy, utilities etc are very much more expensive than abroad and this is reflected in their higher costs.
@Mattisamazing33 I got an AirRider from Saddlecraft in Newcastle for the long rides as it is self inflating so you can get it just right for your butt. I don't use it much at other times though.
@AvonandsomerRob I made the mistake yesterday of going for breakfast as my car was being repaired. 2 poached eggs, avocado, white bread, 3 cherry tomatoes and a coffee. ยฃ18.40!
I'll take some sarnies and a flask with me next time.
The middle of a heatwave. No rain in sight. Yet @SouthernWater continue to release sewage.
This time in St Mildred's Bay in Margate. It is a sick joke.
Seriously โฆ South East Water has told the public to ration water after a 3 day heatwave because the reservoirs are โcriticalโโฆ
โฆwhile the Government fast tracks giant AI data centres in the South East that consume vast amounts of water to keep the machine running.
No water for the people but Unlimited resources for the surveillance infrastructureโฆ. Of course ๐คก
