the shear brass neck is brilliant and hilarious, was reading report of court proceedings in Cathness paper and the amount claimed as weekly self consumption were boggling. cannot decide whether i am rooting for him or not. This whole business has come about as a consequence of the changes in meat slaughter rules a few years back, it was traditional in very remote places like the outer isles to sell excess sheep to neighbours and to slaughter and dress yourself for own and family and friends consumption. now to be legal they have to jump through hoops traveling twice to and from stornaway paying more than is reasonable, acts that destroy a long tradition of self sufficiency. this someting i have great sympathy for, if i want to slaughter my own animals to eat have drive them almost 70 miles to dingwall, to their distress and my great cost, and return again for the meat. its a diabolical situation and needs sorting. in new zealand there are mobile slaughtermen who come out to you and do the deed, something to be said for that.
