    Organic honey ?

    You cant get organic honey produced in the UK, there is no where that homosapiens haven't interferred with and messed up i.e roads, modern agriculture etc. Too little land and too many peeps.

    BBKA Epipen Policy

    Epi pen The administration of the adreniline may not be the problem, the after care may be! From someone that has been trained and carries one everyday, you are own your own with the decision you make. Adreniline kills - fact. Hence after administration you need to get to hospital as quick as...

    red mite

    Mites Having had chickens for a number of years I have tried many things, especially this year with the mite being so prevelant. I was recommended a product by a commercial keeper. It is called Smite the Mite. Brilliant. Non toxic once mixed and no egg withdrawal period. Creosote works but it...

    Strike ?

    Wake up to the future people. Teachers, well I was one but left as like many others. It is a demanding, tiring and stressful job. In order to get the best from children you need the best teachers. Do you really want your children/grandchildren being taught by a teacher who is 67/68 having been...

    Hay fever

    Pollution levels have, nationally, been through the roof. UK is going to have to pay vast amounts of compensation to the EU for breaching clean air levels. Pollution attaches itself to pollen and increases the effects - bigger particulate matter.

    Do swallows eat bees?

    Do swallows eat bees? Do bears bob in the woods? They especially love virgin queens on their mating flight.

    Anaphylactic shock

    Use it whatever? I agree with Hedgerow Pete. You cannot just go around sticking needles in people and each case would need to be judged on its on merit. It does raise some serious concerns. First if you do not have a serious allergic reaction land on you then how on earth have you got access to...

    Anaphylactic shock

    Stings. One thing to point out is you will not have full AS on your first encounter with an allergen. The first reaction is the priming reaction. Your body will not got into AS on the first reaction as the immune system has never experienced it before so won't react other than a typical 'normal...

    Anaphylactic shock

    allegies My eldest has a peanut allergy and is under the specialist allergy clinic at the local hospital. The honest answer from the consultants is they don't know why children are developing allegies, peanut or otherwise. This is also the case for the increasing levels of adults suffering...

    UK Economy!!!

    Stop..carry on. In relation to the figure fudging by government in relation to CPI and RPI, (has anyone noticed that pensions etc have now, courtesy of our present government, been linked to CPI rather than RPI - saves them a fortune?) lets take a very simplistic view. House prices boomed...

    UK Economy!!!

    Cuba/China or Russia? Yes the banks make money, people are paid bonuses and economies rise and fall. That my friends is capitalism. There are plenty of flights elsewhere, choose any communist country (though lets be honest, there really isn't one, if there was the world may be a better place...

    UK Economy!!!

    stop blaming the banks! We all like to pick on the banks (I am playing devils advocate here a little) but we need to stop. Our manufacturing base is small, financial sector big. Our manufacturing base went abroad (cheaper, less unionised and greater productivity) Do we want the same to happen...
