OK, didn't realise you were talking specifically about Sue. FWIW I don't think you're an idiot... I do struggle to understand where you're coming from some of the time though...

Fair enough.. I may not explain myself too well sometimes.. It's spending too much time on Twitter and only

having chunks of 140 characters to say your piece. My comments might seem a bit deep profound.

Sorry..


Foxy

Goodness me all this drama over a bit of attention seeking. Seem to have hit the EDF nerve with this one! If people want to sit in a prime position in the window of a new venue lapping up attention, that's upto them, it's a free country! I'm just observing this fact. Some of us get turned away from a restaurant with empty seats, others miraculously manage to get prime seating. Just a perfectly rational social observation, but it appears some folk on here take it personally because perhaps it does hit that reality button.


Well you'll all be glad to know I will be enjoying another take away tonight, possibly Indian, and I am currently sipping a chilled Sauvignon in the garden. Happy Friday everyone!

No, you come onto the EDF instead.


Good work by the way Lou, the Forum's Sweetheart strikes again... :)

I was going to try the Xoco Bar tonight but the Chicken selection from the Menu is a bit sparse..

Stuffed Chicken Masala / Chicken Tikka Masala.. Place seems to be popular despite the competition across the road.


Hope that does not come across too narcissistic talking about something I may do this evening.


Perhaps a selfie stick is in order.. :)

Can we expect a running commentary on every moment of your day from now on, Fox?


😂


And on a different topic, do you know if their chicken is free range?

Running commentaries on MLExit are not allowed.

I'll PM you the selfie pics.. My day is very dull and doesn't merit any running commntary.


I was infact replying to Louisa who is getting a take away. without including here post.


Do not know if they have Free range.. The term Free range is virtually meaningless.

Any animal in an enclosed shed that can see daylight through an opening can be called free range.

Even if the place is so crowded they could never reach the outside.


Foxy

Foxy I am one for prawns, do Xoco have them on the menu? Do they offer a take away service? I think you and I may need to stop talking about ourselves before the narcissism police arrive and caution us. Anyway, over to *Bob* for the final word.....

Not quite true. For meat chickens, they must have outdoor access for at least 8 hours a day. For egg layers, they can be indoors all the time, but are not caged.

Yes but for a simple answer..??? One could write volumes and people sit in debates for hours discussing the subject.


EDF needs to adopt a 140 character policy..

That is true, but...free range farmers are allowed to keep nine chickens per square metre in sheds, but must have 10,000 square metres per 2,500 hens available outside. But there is no regulation on how often the chickens must go outside, just that they must have "access" eight hours a day - it's not like they're all taken outside for eight hours a day every day. In practice chickens are very territorial and dominant birds will prevent others getting to the exits - a significant number, if not a majority, will never actually see the light of day.

You are free range drinker if you can see out of the window you see.


But if you're stuck at the bar you're a battery drinker.

FFS, the definition of free range for eggs is hardly a closely guarded secret:


unlimited daytime access to outdoor runs with vegetation


4 sq metres of outdoor space per bird


plus indoor requirements as for uncaged birds


So this:


The term Free range is virtually meaningless.

Any animal in an enclosed shed that can see daylight through an opening can be called free range.

Even if the place is so crowded they could never reach the outside.


is about as accurate as the normal level of 'expert' posting from DF

I walked past Meat Liquor mid-afternoon and it does see a slightly funny arrangement. I felt quite sorry for the guy sitting in the window, no glass between him and the people walking past a foot or two away or to protect him from the traffic fumes, the sun full in his somewhat red and sweaty face. Didn't look much fun to be honest.

This is correct, but you need to add the exit requirements, which are 2m of popholes for every 1,000 hens - as I said above, due to the way hens interact that means a significant proportion won't actually get outside. And you're skating over the fact that when indoors (which is permitted for 16 hours a day) they're permitted to be kept at a density of nine hens per square metre. Which is frankly sod all.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
