In response to the slanderous remark by the last poster. I firmly refute his remarks.the card was in perfect condition when I bought it from Gary Wright in 1988. Anyway I am disputing the congestion charge as the camera looked very much like Angies old hairdryer. I have been in touch with a new brief Mahat Makote.University of Bangalore ( failed ) and he informs me that for a few rupees he can get me off. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Charles you bite too easy and take the bate, you know that legal beagal from Wellow aint real he just pontificates with words. In all the time he has been on this thread he’s not had a mention in the Bramshaw Herald which is a news paper started at Bramshaw Primary school back in the 50’s where I attended.
As for the Agricultural theme I did some harrowing today on the council ground I had this summer, thought it would spread the cow pats a bit ahead of the forecast rain which has not turned up just yet, they did not request me to do this but hey ho it may be a bit of good will towards getting it again next year, cheers Buzzer.

Well done Buzzer ! nowt like harrowing all the ■■■■ heaps out, it was something I was always keen about on the acres I owned in the 80’s and 90’s, nothing worse than seeing those strong green circles dotted all over a pasture, do you have to put a bid in for that land for next year ? if so may I wish you luck mate, a few brown envelopes in the right place will always help ,of course 
! Cheers Dennis.
Evening Buzzer
Harrowing has become a distant memory up ere, this was the sight this morning that greeted us as we opened the curtain’s. Never mind it will soon be the shortest day, writing this whilst tipping near Uttoxeter on a late finish tonight.
Cheers Wrighty.
Wrighty just looking at them pictures makes me want to put another jumper on, actually this week I have gone from light weight jumpers to heavy ones and we aint got no white stuff but it has been on the bitter side with a biting wind. Cleaned up more leaves yesterday and chucked under the cows then it all goes out wee the muck, think they are glad to be indoors now and I bet yours are as well.
Dennis I don’t know what is going to happen next year with the rented ground as of yet you can never get hold of the right bloke to find out, then they have to ask someone above them they always got too many cooks if you ask me but that’s a government thing. Better if you could do a deal for say three years like I do on the other bit I rent at least then you can plan a bit forward.
Got me man coming in tomorrow to cut some hedges with a flail which is good before it gets too wet, remember at home when I was still at school we had a Teagle jet cut that you carried with the aid of shoulder straps, blade one end and little petrol engine the other to balance things up but it took a good man to do a day on that, then you had to clear all the cuttings and burn them so much easier today with no clearing up to do, Buzzer.
Winter fast approaches and one job I needed doing was the hedge cutting and my man turned up at 07.30 this morning and got to work and a good job done, its amazing with these flail cutters as it beats everything to a pulp with little clearing up to do, he would not accept payment in cash but said he would have it in sausages and chops a very good way of doing things in my book.
Went round the field replacing staples where needed and must have put in at least 60 but the field is ready for cattle in the spring, will harrow and roll and give a bit of fertilizer then and watch it take off, came back and littered the cows in the barn who seem settled now they have had a week with no calves. Give them a mineral lick which they get rid of in a week they seem to like it. Buzzer.
Talking of Bramshaw John, I met an old school chum of yours, Bert. Working for a grain company.

I just bet you have a bag of very “thin” sausages and chops in the freezer for just such an occasion you “tight wad” Buzzer ! 
Dennis. PS only joking Buzzer as I have no doubt you are the same as me and will have rewarded the Lad substantially and in excess !
Always something to keep you busy where animals are concerned, today was cleaning out me chicken house but went the extra mile and power washed the perch grill and its a lot lighter now its clean. Then off to the bank to pay in the meagre pittance I got for my calves and on to the butchers to pick up a box of Cases from Somerset dry cured smoked back bacon, cost me £100 but its a good bit of bacon and no crap comes out of it when its grilled, looking forward to brecky tomorrow now, Buzzer.
What time is breakfast tomorrow mr Davies?. Is there any room for a poor old pensioner who is down on his luck? Please ignore any requests from the Lord of Wellow. Or from Mappo who has changed his religion and now does not eat bacon. Looking forward to it.Regards. Charlie

Charlie egg on toast, two bacon and fried spud left over from to nights tea, that’s what im’e having, if you can make it you could have baked beans as well plus all the tea you can sup plus more toast and home made jam if you are still hungry. If you let me know before 9 pm you could have sausage as well. About 09.30 am so get the cart on charge now but you will need a mac,leggings and goggles as it’s going to pee down tomorrow.
Traffic congestion at Wellow and Mappo aint an early riser then he is exhausted from Friday prayers so neither will be present, JD.

Sounds good Buzzer room for another…
The deadline for breakfast past and neither Charlie or our learned friend from Wellow showed up so I proceeded on my own, not the full Monty just a moderate helping with two brown toast and marmite to follow and of course a second mug of tea, horrible morning out there today but got a little wet putting a bale into the cattle and they told me they were glad to be inside, Cheers Buzzer.

Blimey Buzzer.
You sure know how to be cruel.That breakfast looks great.I can smell it from here. Even see the steam from the mug. The kickstart has packed up and I couldn’t bump start it.All I had was a bowl of gruel and a crust. I’m sure you enjoyed yours. Regards Charlie

A bushel of Wheat was 60lbs in weight Barley 45lbs but just think of the ■■■■■■■ drivers had to do back then and not a pallet in sight Buzzer.
That Bedford is sitting on it’s spring stops but the trailer is high and clear. Jim.

If those sacks are that light then it might not be oats. The other thing comes to mind.
Flaked maize. Like cornflakes. That’s might explain it.
Talking about weight. When I was involved in grain transport. Most of the transportation was done in sacks. The West of England sacks were limited to two and a quarter cwt.(Hundredweight )
However the tight fisted Hampshire farmers used to fill them right up so that you could just tie up the ears with string. Now imagine this. I am A 21 year old. Green as grass. Standing on the trailer with the elevator in position.up comes the first sack.I take it on my back and down on my knees I go. First lesson Never take the sack on your back. Always on your neck. Why? Because they weighed three hundredweight. This is why old Lorry drivers all have bad backs. That’s enough for today. Me back hurts. Regards Charlie.

Charlie the other reason is the sacks were always rented but an old one cut down one side and along the bottom used to make a nice leg warmer when driving the old Fordson Major with no cab ploughing, we used to make a waste tie with bale string and the also make a good horse rug just to throw over there backs, seen that done more than once.
Remember the flaked maize as a nipper used to eat that in the meal barn, just like corn flakes we-out the sugar coating there was another product as well looked like pressed dates and that were sweet to the taste another Mary Hopkin memory, cheers Buzzer.
PS. if you got the kick start mended we are slammin in the Lamb tomorrow.
