@GreenAcres_Farm It's a shame about the sawn stakes though. They always look so out of place.

Name this place - boss level.
Who can identify the house behind these winter crocuses?
English
@ARoss_farm Yes but why buy semi skimmed milk in the first place? If you want milk get whole milk.
Semi skimmed has become a national fad and obsession. Skimmed is even worse.
English
This milk is still fine to drink 11 days after best before date, never just throw food away always try first 🥛👍

@howemill @PaddyGalbraith Hope you are feeling better soon.
One of the perils of attending a big conference?

@PaddyGalbraith I’d usually say you’re welcome to drop by whilst you’re up Patrick but I’m in bed with flu 🤧 maybe next time you’re north of the border?

Long day on the hill talking deer, trees, and the possibility of more people, from the local community, being involved in stalking

If you could call one of the places in our care home, which would you choose?

@howemill @PastureForLife @IFarmers @AHDB_BeefLamb @SoilAssociation Was volunteering online for your session. Certainly some interesting approaches and certainly not all the same either.
It was great!
English
Day 2 of #ORFC24 and I can’t wait to chair our @PastureForLife session at 2pm - Bale Grazing as an Effective Livestock Outwintering Strategy *which is also being livestreamed!
Come and listen to 4 farmers share their experiences of using this approach, it’s going to be great! 😊

The shift to @PastureForLife certified system for beef at @BalbirnieFarm has significantly reduced costs (by thousands!) but has not reduced output per hectare 👏

@howemill @ORFC @Love_plants @PastureForLife @LandworkersUK @CCRI_UK @IFarmers See you virtually.
I am volunteering online again this year.
I hope the flood waters subside before then. It's been a bit wet.

@herdyshepherd1 @RedTractorFood Red Tractor doesn't give anyone good value.

Sadly, we came out of the @RedTractorFood scheme today
It doesn’t offer us good value for money

@Flyan @Gill_Nowell @bobbyllew @FullyChargedShw @fairchargeuk @PoletoPoleEV A livestock trailer amongst other things.
English
@FeldonForest @Gill_Nowell @bobbyllew @FullyChargedShw @fairchargeuk @PoletoPoleEV Out of pure curiosity, what are you towing at that weight?
English
@KateFantom @Gill_Nowell @QuentinWillson @She_sElectric @106Euan @ecocars1 @FoxGeorgiou @vonredbeard That's what the situation should be in every car park.
Destination chargers needn't be expensive to install and consumption of electricity is relatively modest.
English
56 parking spaces, 56 chargers in place. Even those that don’t run EVs contributed to this as per parking space, the cost was £75. Future proofed 👌🏼

@paul_carnall Just give up and start walking, unless you are already in hospital because you crashed it.

In skiathos Greece. Had to hire a manual diesel . I normally drive an EV. Apart from the steering wheel being on the wrong side was wondering if anyone could help me out with what these are for ?

@jtchivers It's because they have lost the argument and don't have the intellectual capacity to cope.
English
Why do people block when you're having a reasonable conversation, just because you present facts which counter their assertions?
Isn't having one's ideas challenged with evidence an opportunity to take on new information and reconsider positions. I've changed my mind on many things over the years when presented with new evidence. It's not a personal attack when someone presents evidence - just an opportunity to reconsider our own positions. Nobody is omniscient and has all the right answers!
I didn't name-call. I was actually toning down my earlier tone, because I thought @Lazzard59 was engaging quite reasonably.
Ahh well.

You really need to check things, Larry. The combined percentage vote share of Con+UKIP in 2015 was 49.5%. The total vote share for Lab+SNP+Lib Dem+Green was 46.8%, so even if they'd managed to concoct a back-room negotiation between the four parties (highly unlikely), they wouldn't have had the numbers to form a government. In contrast, a Con+UKIP coalition would have been far easier to negotiate. UKIP would have almost certainly made it conditional on an EU referendum, which, as we know, happened anyway. The SNP got 8.6% of the seats for 4.7% of the vote, by the way, so it was massively overrepresented proportional to national vote share. UKIP, in contrast, gained 0.1% of the seats for their 12.6% share of the national vote share and were by far the hardest done by, thanks to FPTP.
English
@Scooff @FullyChargedShw Clearly you don't want one then.
Just leave it to those who will appreciate it
Oh and try to remember that not everyone has the same experience so what doesn't suit you will be fine for someone else. They may even be able to manage to press a button each time they want to drive
English
I've driven one several times and it could be a great second car for small trips but there are 2 deal breakers for me:
1. While spacious on the front seats, it's really uncomfortable (driving position and seat comfort).
2. Lane keep assist is extremely unreliable and dangerous and can be disabled but only before each drive. It almost had me crash twice on straight roads with random strong steering off the road... Did Fiat even try their car?
English
Could this be the EV for you?
Quentin Willson@QuentinWillson
Fiat’s electric 500 is my favourite small EV. Now with a £3k Fiat grant, prices from £25 to £28k. Pretty, fun to drive, brisk, plenty of kit, and won lots of awards. I rate it as one of the world’s best city EVs. @FIAT_UK @FullyChargedShw @fairchargeuk
