If you invented a machine that: - Runs on grass - Produces high-quality protein - Fertilises soil while operating - Builds topsoil - Requires zero electricity - Self-replicates - Provides 100+ byproducts (leather, tallow, gelatin, etc.) You'd win every environmental award. We call it a cow and want to ban it. Genius.

To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Today I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my cart, emptied my cart and scanned the items, refilled my cart and so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. • I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. • If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine. • Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities. YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING. YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU. Signed ......All of us People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!! ~ unknown author ~

£16.50 to change address of tv licence…. What an absolute scam. No wonder nobody bothers with it anymore!

Not sure why @BBCNews say only 10.000 farmers came when a conservative estimate of 3 people per sq meter (some say 4) over 1.5 hec would be 45.000 farmers at the #wejustwanttofeed you #stopthefarmtax rally Thank you everyone who came @JeremyClarkson

Flat to the mat running seed out for the new SFI scheme… more land out of food production. And me looking for a new job! Any Farm Manager positions out there, ideally south west of Oxford but will consider elsewhere?!

This year’s #FarmSafetyWeek offers an opportunity for a real reset in the way we all approach farm safety and risk-taking. We can't continue to rely on luck – luck has a habit of running out… Please watch & share

30 weeks until the Vendee Globe Race & we are facing the reality of having to halt our preparations. The final act is the big one we have huge potential with genuine commercial value for new sponsors. Watch our film here youtu.be/buIdPl1OqzQ?si=b4Wj… #sponosorship #opportunities
