    Bought the Farm

    Ok, bought a farm, but hey ho.

    Cue the barely thought out insults from the usual suspects. However, I DGAS, as I took 20% off asking, and it's exactly, to the letter, what we wanted, including water course and South South West Facing and everything we wanted out of it.

    Give me your worst, but I really wouldn't care.

        You can't rent them by the hour, so I can avoid visits form shaunyboy and MF, but we're looking at turkeys and ducks for commercial purposes, with the other animals being for our consumption only: a rotation of say 6-10 chooks, 2 pigs and a couple of sheep.

        We don't move in, until August, so it's planning stage now.

          Sorry, Free range poultry, but we'll change that.

            How many acres? (reminds me of a very old joke)
            How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

              Well done. 20% off the asking in a market that's going up. What a negotiator! Had him over a barrel of course didn't you son.

              Of course that's pretty much the end of your contracting career. It's in the middle of nowhere. Theres no work down there and your neighbours think the highlight of the year is the Summer Barn dance at Blackawton.

                luve it!
                If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.
