Manure 'regulations'...

We had a load delivered yesterday, by a local farmer who works his socks off.

It was a 'trailer-load' and we paid him £35.00 for a big, well-rotted and useful heap of stuff, which we've started to spread already.

When he'd tipped the stuff, I just said 'Many thanks, see you next year', but he muttered that he'd need a 'licence', or similar, so I suppose that this means that because he is in charge of a prohibitive product such as 'dung', and he has to have some small-minded official peering over his wall and ticking boxes?

Don't understand all this, but I suppose someone has another 'job' at our expense...

Who on earth needs to live by these ridiculous, stupid, inane  'laws' Mums!

Where are these people coming from!

I think it all started with the Aminopyralid debacle 

Thanks Mum. Seems it was hardly an epidemic here, but of course, it meant that someone in some ivory tower could collect a 'team' for fact-finding, paper-clip counting, lots and lots of serious reports after several years, and an awful lot of travel to where the Aminopyralid 'menace' started, i.e. the US.

Probably went Club Class too!

Meanwhile, my poop seller has to try and clear his yard, and charges only time and diesel...

They're just "Jobsworths" but somebody needs these inane kind of people to make their jobs worthy. I despair - I really do! 

.

Up to early last year we used to get lots of stable manure "dumped" for free as the stable owner was charged around £100 per load as it was classed as industrial waste!

Due to the recession he had lost almost all his charges as people could no longer afford to keep their horses., the stables and land has now been sold for houses, which they have already started building!

And I miss it!

I think that the deal I do with local persons, in cash, is not going to get any notice from the 'authorities', however much they may need to justify their 'rules'!

Just do it, and tell them all to 'get real'!
