bloody hell blonde it must be some size of fridges that you have in oz that you can hang a pig in them :farmer:
Our neighbour has a a large fridge  that has 3 doors in it and he has just welded a frame up and put it on a concrete floor......just sits there with the motor on top and when he or we want to do a sheep or a pig or a cow  it is put on and then we hang our meat in it for a day or a week and then butcher it or have it butchered.  We did a cow just on the weekend.

I want the tone of this post to be respectful....

Do people tattle on each other when regs aren't followed?  No sharing meat with anyone but household? 

Aren't temperatures ranges ideal (who lives in the ideal world)?

I understand all of the what ifs but.....where is your "if it could be done for hundreds (low ball) of years before modern gadgets, then I can surely do it!" spirit?

Please, no lecture on the sicknesses of the past.

If my neighbour killed a pig and offered me some, as long as I knew how it had been reared, I don't think I would worry ;) BUT, as Robert says, best to keep things to yourself.

The trouble with this country Yankie Girl is we live a bit more cheek by jowell with our neighbours (interesting spelling ?) and there is always someone ready to " drop a dime on you " for not following the rule book that has been forced on us by Europe ( by the way , we are not European ....never have been.. never will be).

What are you then?  I'm just a hick from the sticks but I'm all ears.  I know very little about life and politics in the UK.

How can I explain in laymans terms? ....Europe is that block of countries south of the English Chanel unfortunate enough not to be part of the British Empire, We like their wine and cheese but not their attitude. At this present moment in time they are running round like headless chickens trying to keep the Euro afloat , god knows why because it buys less than the US Dollar. The French think the EEC was invented for their benefit, the Germans Know it was invented for their benefit , and the Belgians think they are running the whole pointless organisation. The rest of the member states are only there to milk the system for as much as they can get away with. They sit in their ivory tower in Brussels making up unworkable rules and regulations for the Bits to slavishly follow, and laugh at our attempts to do so, we try to make the effort 'cause we are the good guys who end up picking up the pieces when it all goes pear shaped.
 If you think you don't understand our politics, then what are we to make of a country that put George W in power TWICE ?
Now if you will excuse me , I have to go and remove my tongue from my cheek. ( this may require surgery )

As if we had a choice.  Algore the enviro wackjob, socialist in 2000.  Kerry aka herman munster in 2004.

Anyway, does the EU collapse?  Does Greece thumb their nose at the bail out and vote it down?  What's next?

If the Greek Prime Minister steps down or is forced out then the Generals will probably step into the power vacuum and take them back 50 years, they will not pay their international debts so a lot of French banks are crapping themselves , the Euro is on the verge of collapse , it makes no difference how much money they print if they dont have the gold reserves to back it up . it is even  worse than the  depression in the thirties. The big fear is that it could lead to another European war as the infrastucture collapses and power strugles take place in some of the thirdworld toilets that have been allowed to join the EEC. Italy will be next to fall apart, and Spain is in deep do-do. If they all renaige on their debts the world banking system will be in serious trouble.
We seem to have hijacked this thread, so better pack in now.

Blonde, we can't even legally GIVE home-killed meat to our neighbours, or even invite them over to eat some with us!!
