Please show me the right place to look! Last time I had to travel to Wisbech in cambs
200 mls , 4.5 hrs round trip. Time and diesel... It all ads to the costs.
So yes .. Would rather buy local. Time at £10 per hour ? Diesel at £40 say.
Thats 2 weaners  just there.

try looking at the rbst stock exchange on their website.

Ha ha. I don't have any spare weaners, pork sales are on the up so I don't look like having any spare weaners. Now I am getting a call every other day asking for weaners ::)   Mind you, they struggle to get through on my phone for folks asking for straw - now that's all sold!!!

Great to hear! It's about time we had some good news, perhaps we should start a good news in business thread?! Sometimes you can (and very understandably) get bogged down in the gloom mire.
