The bio-security practices of 1853 described in the opening article are impressive.

I don't think singalto was being offensive in any way. As a spell checker many years ago in the civil service I can see that the word takes a different meaning but then of course we know what the OP means.

Maybe the OP could edit their post.

[singalto]

I was definitely not being offensive.I was amused, that is all. I was a teacher for over 40 years..I found the link interesting.

[Passiflora]

Yes I found it interesting too.

The article about Friern Manor Dairy Farm is great. I live the detail that all fourteen milkers are ?of the rougher sex?!

OP is unnecessarily petulant - this forum is in the English language, in England. The title has incorrect spelling, grammar, and the name of the farm in the thread title is wrong too. Those are just facts, there?s nothing wrong with striving for correct use of language.
