    Why do you assume its naughty ? It might be like my series 3, which was done in 1994, by modifying the chassis(rather crudely), long before the latest rules.

    I even bought a Designa coiler chassis for it, but never got round to fitting it. Would be perfectly legal.

    I was going to write a reply explaining my post but then I realised I can’t actually be bothered to explain myself

    FB is like visiting a lunatic asylum - even people you thought were rational and sensible human beings post utter cack on FB. I have to dip in once a month to update club stuff and that's once too often, if it wasn't for that I'd have deleted my account years ago.

    If u want to find lunatics and conspiracy theorists Instagram is the place to be ! I haven’t used my account in over a year but can only imagine the utter drivel being peddled on there atm 🤪

  3. Don’t worry Monkie , I think most people on here are smart enough to ignore the BS printed by the media 

     

    and that goes for everything the print not just the current pandemic! I wouldn’t trust a tabloid journalist as far as I could kick them

  4. TBH the lockdown hasn’t altered my day to day much at all , obviously I’m paying more attention to what I touch , how close I get to people etc etc but on a day to day it’s pretty much the same but then I suppose farming can be a pretty lonely job at times but it suits me ! Of course my daughter is home all day with the school closures , the wife works at the ambulance service so is in the thick of it so to speak and even the corn merchants have got their doors closed (park up , phone in your order and they bring it out to you ) but in general I could almost forget that it’s all going on !

    The one thing I hope this experience teaches a number of people is to not take things for granted that have been in the past. I'm probably hoping for too much there. 

    TBH I think a heck of a lot of people , for a while at least , will have a new found appreciation for all the things we take for granted . 

  6. Time will tell but I foresee thousands of small businesses going belly up (of course others will come along in their place ) pubs , shops etc , a lot of unemployment for at least 12 months and lots of mortgage repossessions 😖. I think the gap between the haves and have nots will grow too .Hope I’m wrong . I noticed in the news that Gordon Ramsey had laid off 500 staff , I know he’s had to shut his restaurants but he earned £51 million last year , you would think a bit of that could have gone to keeping his staff in a wage until he can reopen , thousands have been let go from their work , some unavoidable, some down to pure greed and selfishness by the business owners . Sad times 

  7. My wife works for YAS (Yorkshire Ambulance Service ) and says the number of accidents , RTA’s etc etc have fallen through the floor as obviously people aren’t working , aren’t driving as much , the roads are eerily quiet . I’m still working (farming ) and have been on the road all day with the slurry tanker , normal Saturdays are a nightmare with traffic , walkers and cyclists , seen no more than half a dozen of each today . Think of the spike when everyone eventually gets back on the roads and back to work (hopefully!) 😖

    No, because it’s not disposable.  Unless you thoroughly disinfect the entire thing each time you take it off to have drink or eat (or any other reason), and disinfect your hands at the same time so it’s all sterile before putting back on, it’s worse than no mask at all.  Partly because you’re almost certain to wear it contaminated, and partly because the feeling of protection would serve to diminish concerns over being in a contaminated environment.

    Besides, only full on respirators cover the eyes, which are highly likely to be another infection point.

    I can quite easily and happily disinfect it 👍🏻
    I am disinfecting my hands whenever necessary atm with Hibiscrub , the stuff surgeons use when they scrub in , we have it for the pigs and luckily I have half a gallon so got some in the house , the workshop and my car !

    My social contact is very limited anyway so might only need to use it once or twice . 
    Better na nowt anyway !

  10. Been running the slurry tanker all day at work , couple of miles round trip from farm to field and I’ve never seen as many families out walking the area , loads of cyclists , loads of old folks in their cars (at least they were staying in their cars !) . My cousin politely pointed out to one family that they were wandering around his winter wheat crop which has just nicely started to shoot , they had obviously never been in the area and were 1/2 a mile off the footpath ! The only thing that will save people from their own stupidity is being locked down !
