We sent in our partnership application online yesterday. I thought it was something to do with that. But all I can see under correspondence is bps maps and forms. Everything to be paperless from now on

Yea I got it and took ages to find out what section it was. I thought it was I relation to tams application first. Then I thought it was I relation to sheep welfare scheme as I was emailing them about that during week. Eventually saw it was bps. They should have clarified in the text.

This day 20 years ago was the start of the FMD outbreak in the UK.

A horrible time and horrible memories.

Just been reading this on the matter. Long but insightful:

It would have done no harm, a lot didn't know what it was about, and then to get it on a Friday evening. I know my advisor was unreachable, only have an idea what it's for from here.

The top rate of VAT is going back up from 21% to 23% at midnight on Sunday. It was reduced on September 1 for six months and there have been no announcements that it is being extended. The special 9% rate for hotels and restaurants is being extended.

Easy extend that when most of them are doing the sum total of **** all. Once they all open again, watch it go back to 13% (it was 13 I think)

Got 1 from Slaneyside Kennels last year, easy to deal with, good selection of runs. There on Donedeal but also have a good website. More than happy with what I got.

I have no connection to the business, just a happy customer.

Years ago I had my catalytic convertor stolen while it was parked at work. They did a few jeeps in the industrial estate that day. When a guard from the forensics department came to look at it, I said to him, that they were probably still stealing them. It was a couple of hours after they had stole it and it had started to rain.
He smirked and goes ' Them boys don't work in the rain.'
