Some of us enjoy The Archers, PeckhamRose.

One day when you are older you may get into it, and then you will realise they have expert farmy's who supply up to the minute farming info' to The Archers wordsmiths.


Fictional characters they may be, but it does have its finger on the farming pulse to an extent. So it should, it is an every day story of country folk as they say.


Rather similar to the ed forum really, an every day story of urban folk all with fictional names etc. Eventually one of the edf writers will groom it and make an every day story of 'Townies'.

I see it more as an addiction - but equally 10.00 - 11.15 Sunday's usually finds me doing something with a radio on in the background. First hooked when driving back from day shift at 7.00pm every evening.


On badgers - I'd cull them if I had a dairy herd

What are you angry about - NOT culling badgers?


You might be right that if they were ugly buggers no one would mind killing them (as an aside,a friend once pointed out that if prawns lived on land there's no way we'd eat them - imagine one now, scuttling from under your sofa, and the picture it again, glistening with oil and chilli atop your spahettini...)


However, having listened a good deal to Farming Today, it seems to me that the case has not been made for a badger cull, that it is very far from proven that badgers cause the spread of bovine tb, and therefore, as a signed up member of the tufty club, i can't condone the pointless slaughter of these cute but fearsome creatures

Farmers hate the little buggers. They do look cute but my mate who lives in deepest darkest Devon told me an interesting story. The local vets did a survey of road kill badgers and found that 9 out of 10 had been shot before being dumped on the road. Pity they banned Fox hunting I think Michael Palaeologus would have made a marvelous MFH on Dulwich Common (perhaps we could call it Dulwich Posh instead?)

    • Ah but they do -  Janet Kay as well on Monday, but sadly I am away.  Surely nobody can complain about some Lovers Rock.  Surely.....  
    • I am not here to justify or excuse Lambeth Council's decisions,  but you would have to be very very naive not to understand that cancelling several eventsof that size at auch short notice would be anything other than financially catastrophic for all involved. 
    • I think it demonstrates the lengths councils will go to to appease commercial stakeholders and prioritise them over local residents and their own constituents. Councils appear to become very myopic once revenue is involved....
