@JeremyClarkson Try being a small Organic Dairy farmer wondering how he’s going to feed his cows this winter. Only got half of the forage I need for them 😕

It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

@FriesianPerry @B0ATsmith @almurray Grim reading - Every Ladbroke survivor had to make a statement recording the events that befell their glider. The Airborne Division used these often harrowing accounts to compile their casualty figures. I have read them all.

@almurray @B0ATsmith The thing that I find hardest to comprehend is that after all that happened he then got in another glider and went to Holland!! Think I’d have requested a transfer!!

@B0ATsmith @almurray This was his official statement from his Husky disaster. Very sober reading.

Been invited to Bentley HQ today. They saw my issues with the GTC Supersport and kindly offered to take a look whilst I had a tour of the factory. What amazing service!!! ❤️

@JRfromStrickley Wow, now that’s a really s**t day. Sorry James. Hope the pain subsides soon. Wish you all the luck with your next tests, it’s a horrible roundabout once you get out on it.

Who books a Tb test for Fri 13th? It certainly lived it to the billing. 9 more reactors gone. Then to top it off, I was attacked by our bull and ended up with a dislocated finger, fractured sternum & bruised ribs. I count myself lucky that he stopped at that. Be careful folks 🙏

Hi @WoodmanGav Got an unusual suggestion for your slot, mostly well known locally in Cheshire for his exploits, try to listen to some of his recordings, they are hilarious. Cool name too, “Blaster Bates”. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaster_B…

@gautrek Nearly finished my second tub here in 35 years of being a farmer. Bodge a lot of things myself so usually know I’ll be taking it apart again sometime in the future! (Will post a pic as proof when I go out to work this afternoon.)

@NOELY1982 @almurray I’ve started we have ways from the beginning, I’m about 400 episodes behind at the moment but lots of long days on the tractor ahead I should hopefully halve that through the summer.

Great news from @penswordbooks - Glider Pilots in Sicily will be out in paperback this autumn. Updates to follow nearer the time. It is still available in hardback from Pen & Sword and online sellers.
