@__Samantha8 You are absolutely right, most employers have a budget for their employees, for me that's wages ,employer contributions to tax , NI , pension contributions and in some cases housing and transport costs . If the government adds to the cost of one then it will come from somewhere

@__Samantha8 The 7 coloured earth is a good trip largely for the rest of the park, we did a private taxi trip to the Hindu temple and another few sights in the South of the island, it was really good

@RedMedusa13 Could the school be getting a percentage of the sale price from the " official" supplier? Therefore the incentive to insist on parents going there ,no other logical reason.

@Catheri32273716 Probably work better than the rubbish they sell these days!

@sophieaplin I thought you knew me better than that!

August in Cheshire, rescuing stranded heifers this morning . Is it too early to start getting concerned about conditions for maize harvest?

@kevinrpeacock @Dylancastellior Latest updates to cross conveyor is a big improvement,wider with a motor at either end means much less likely to overload

[martin coar @MartinCoar]

Is there anything more satisfying when you have just finished sheeting 3rd cut up a couple of hours earlier?

[martin coar @MartinCoar]
