Agriculture? I met a couple of farmers at the weekend (don't judge me) and they said they are worried that Brexit will finish them. They're right to be worried, EU rules & regs will do the dirty as far as crops and what to plant, that and import/export. says a lot about the current situ when shops have to order veg in from abroad.

Farmers basically live off of EU subsidies to keep their fields full of barren soil and infected beef. Its a racket. They'll be finished. Barren soil because the EU says that they have to plant rape seed as well as root veg, the rape seed destroys the ground leaving it un-sowable, so no grasses for the cattle..

A pub at the top of the hill is in an ideal position. You attain a deep thirst on the way up, and then attack that thirst with incredible tenacity. Then one simply rolls down the hill and back home. Surely one just leaves a shopping trolley outside the pub, for the downhill run. MrTiddles knows.

Everyone discusses the EU with Rolling and firms up on leaving. UKIP's secret weapon. and not a liberated democratic in sight, most likely Mr.Tiddles has been firming up his meat supply chain with local suppliments, hence the regular night time excursions and the need for a shopping trolley!

Confused He has a special underground pulley system built in so that every time someone pulls a pint the trolley gets drawn uphill, then a release catch for going down again! The same thing he uses for his 'environmental cleaning' work.

You must have read the teaser: "The Tiddles/Kane Bromance is quite sweet, start off fighting like Cats and Dogs then move into grudging respect, now we're into the lovey dovey stage, next will be the "misunderstanding" and a big breakup followed by a tearful reconciliation, fade to black.

Confused Since I live in and around Brighton, it would be foolhardy to even attempt a trolley home from the pub. Such hills would result in non-survivable speeds.

Here's a link to a more sophisticated poll than Rolling talking to people in a pub: farmsunday.org/news/farmers-call-on-consumer-support-in-face-of-brexitFarmers need to be particularly concerned about food imports from non-EU countries post Brexit that use intensive farming methods, i.e. New Zealand lamb that would put the EU protected and subsidised Welsh hill lamb farming out of business or US imports of genetically modified crops or hormone-treated beef. These countries would be very keen to export their farming products to the UK and would put a lot of pressure to incorporate them into any post-Brexit trade deal. A lot of farmers are worried about the access to EU seasonal workers for picking crops. Others are worried about the implications for the cost of farming equipment and vehicles. Farmers in Northern Ireland are very worried about the impact of a hard border with the Republic when some farmland is even split across that border. In short, it depends on what kind of farmer you are and where you farm. The Common Agricultural Policy is a difficult and multifaceted thing, but for a lot of farmers it's at least the devil they know.
