My poor old muck fork handle gave up the ghost last week at work, so the boss goes to his local ag supplies store to get a new fork....and came back without one! He announced they wanted £38 for a new one!
So I brought the broken one back to a chap I know in the village to put a new handle in it, costing £19.50! Meanwhile, I looked in our local countrystore, and their 4 prong forks were £58! what are they - gold plated?
I thought they were cheaper than that - time to visit a few farm sales I reckon!
