@SmallholdersUK During WWII my grandparents got a goat so that they could drink the milk and save the rationed cows milk for the children. It was a good “guard goat” too, important as they lived in Kent and were mindful of invasion and shot down enemy pilots!
Were goats common in England then?
@farmingandJesus You have clearly never met a #FinnishSpitz Known as “the Finnish barking bird dog” I believe the national record is 120 barks/min ! Used in Finland for hunting capercaillie.
@The_East_End@SarahMiller1979 As I recall the rag and bone man would take pretty much anything, there was nothing wasted. Dead horses still go to the knackers. They used to be used for glue and the hair for stuffing chair cushions. Not sure what they do with them these days, fertiliser maybe? #SteptoeandSon
@WW2girl1944 Sooner or later the fast food industry will find a way to make money. Resist!
Btw can any kind Polish person send me a good recipe? Have enjoyed the real thing many times in 🇵🇱. Duck with red cabbage my absolute favourite! 😊
@DerylLynn@DookistAgain Tip for those getting puppies. Get some carpet off cuts and tape them firmly round chair legs. By the time they manage to remove them the teething phase has passed! 😊
@burgess_ag That is mett, raw minced pork normally eaten with raw chopped onion. My son’s absolute favourite thing when competing out in Germany. His teammates will go and get some specially for him. Must be freshly slaughtered that morning. @KMSCallaghan#TeamWathlingen
