Yes Dave you may be correct, but you live where the air is fresh? and Harry where everything is cheap. While I have to take a deep breath when I am able to catch a fresh breeze, and pay through the nose when we need something.

Eight big poultry houses just down the rod from here Norm,with about 750,000 chickens in them.The air ain’t very fresh when you pass them.A big cattle farm a couple of hundred yards away,and when they clean the sheds out it’s not a nice smell.
The countryside has changed completely,it’s all gone very high tech and over the top productive,no more farmers with a piece of grass hanging out of the corner of their mouth,all very intensive now.Grain grown everywhere with crop spraying chemicals everywhere,no more clean air.When can I come to London for some fresh air Norm

hiya,
That’s the way to do it Dave give the old retrobate a proper telling off, and what’s more i’m going to Google his home to see if he’s painted the bird bath yet i’m still toiling so should he be, and he is younger than me,namby pamby Southeners they don’t know they’re born.
thanks harry long retired.
dave and harry , you will have to move to buxton , nice clean air ( except after dark when tarmac turn the dust extractors off ) not many pigs or cows round here , plenty of sheep though very quick on their feet , even the ■■■■■■■■■ would have a job to catch them . the only bad smell is burning rubber from the boy racers from the estate round the corner , cheers , dave

Got three big Tarmac quarries across the valley Dave,can see one from my bungalow.Been through Buxton several times,seen some of the quarries up your way.In all seriousness I like that area,it’s got some fantastic views from certain points along the A53 and over the Cat and Fiddle,also going out towards Chapel en le Frith. Might have a look on the web,and see if there’s any cheap places to rent for knackered old lorry drivers .
Cheers Dave.
Dave, how can you moan, free chickens free eggs all within easy reach, then all the materials you need to do your paths & drives. Harry I have told you before we are not like you rough & tough northerners, we are delicate and cannot bear to be mucky and up to our necks in oil & grease. 
Now to Johnnie I am sure you had a few chickens around your way? Buxton chickens used to be on sale.

Hi Norm,
The chickens down the road from here won’t lay any eggs,they are brought in as day old chicks,fattened up and killed six weeks later,taken away to supply the drum sticks and legs etc for supermarkets and whoever Cargill Meats supply.
We get our eggs from a haulage contractor’s wife who has a field with free range hen’s,much nicer than the supermarket anaemic things 
.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Have you not miscued a bit there Norm was it not BUXTED chickens or is it me, not very often i’m right and most likely this time as well.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry you are right 
Buxted chickens
Often, people of a certain age I meet know the name of Buxted — in the context of Buxted chickens which were widely sold and advertised in the sixties and seventies. ‘Buxted Chickens’ was the idea of Anthony Fisher. This former Battle of Britain pilot turned stockbroker turned farmer went on to make his fortune by introducing factory farming of chickens on the American model to Britain. His company, Buxted Chickens, changed the diet of his fellow countrymen and made him rich. He set up the Institute of Economic Affairs in 1955.
His initial experiments in factory farming had taken place in a disused cowshed in Buxted. But this was to be replaced by four environmentally controlled chicken sheds for 100,000, each with a new cottage for a farm manager and assistant manager. On its launch, Buxted Chickens had confined its operations to rearing, plucking and chilling the birds, but by the end of 1957 the company, which was now handling 25,000 birds a week, also eviscerated, froze and packaged them. At the company’s floatation in 1962 with a capitalization of £7 million, it was running three processing plants, to which three more were to be added.
By 1964 Buxted was producing 500,000 birds a week and Antony could claim to be Britain’s — and probably Europe’s — biggest chicken farmer and a rich man. Others gained too. While most meat prices had soared, chicken prices fell from 38p a pound at Buxted’s launch to less than half that ten years later, with the result that chicken was becoming the most frequently served meat.
hiya,
There you go Norm i’m not as stupid as i look, Buxton chickens indeed yes in the words of the famous Jim Royle “my rear”.
thanks harry long retired.
Hi Harry,
I reckon Norm’s been eating too much posh nosh in London,it’s making him mixed up with the chickens.I don’t think he will be able to hack it in Northampton when he returns,he will be like ■■■■ Whittington,he will want to go back .
Cheers Dave.
we don’t have many chickens round buxton harry , plenty of old boilers though !!! cheers ,dave

hiya,
Just wondering Dave do old boilers perform as well as old fiddles as in "many a good tune played on"there’s quite a few down my street now but can remember when they was youngish chicks, just means i don’t get quite so many clips round the ear because my missus used to notice i was giving them a good coat of looking at when they was younger.
thanks harry long retired.
the old boilers keep going harry , i think i mentioned before my 86 year old pa in law and his 84 year old girlfriend still like the old horizontal waltz . " it just take a bit longer now " is his only comment . my daughter in law works in a care home and reckons that keeping the old dears in their own beds is quite a task . there’s still a chance for us then harry !!! cheers , dave
Some of you are kiljoys, I knew it was Buxted, they was rivals like Sun Valley, I was just using poetic licence to get Johnnie & Dave going, because I thought they was a little stagnate just lately, you forgot I worked in the 60’s for NFC at the chicken factory in Brackley, so lads just cut the cackle.

Harry with your jovial face, you would make a perfect humpty dumpty in a pantomine, 
but for heaven sake don’t fall off the wall, for you would make a terrible mess! Dave, yes they took over the chicken factory for a few years then sold to Faccenda, he is still going, last year was a story in the local paper, people complaining about the smell comming from there, but the factory was there before any houses was built, so they do not stand a chance.
