Having spent the last 20 years living in rural Suffolk I have come to know several local farmers. None of them have even remotely extravagant life styles and at this time of year they are working dawn to dusk - many of them are also well past retirement age but still working as hard as ever.
The idea of the UK with no dairy farms (and indeed all types of farming) doesn't bear thinking about.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
As for the blighters importing milk,it's just as well they don't have to pay the carriage that plant sellers want for posting out half a dozen bare root Hosta's!
One lot a couple of years ago wanted £9.99 for Heuchera plants costing under £100, over that carriage cost much more!
Needless to say I give them a by, but at the moment I cannot recall their name!

No Verdun, I think there have been many interesting views expressed on this thread.
