Of the other four, three had all been 'tound the clock' more than once and had registration plates of the form 3 letters + 3 numbers which gives some indication of their age. The final one was about 10 years old.
there are some tight fisted farmers as well


scruffy , tatty and thrifty dosnt always mean poor

im sure some farmers do struggle but when it comes to dairy farmers i have no sympathy because they led themselves to this situation through bad contract negotiating and self destructing their own customer base by doing exclusive deals with supermarkets

Wasnt any tears when supermarkets were giving them decent money but once supermarkets knew no one else was left to buy their milk the supermarkets played hardball and that is good business sense on the supermarkets side and for us the customer

if they are really that unhappy instead of filling a few trollys with milk and abandoning them at teh checkouts why dont they learn a few tricks from the french because french farmers get things done when they get upset and it dosnt take much to upset a french farmer
