Walked across some playing fields today that I last walked on the 20th

been a drop of rain in between. There are to be serious implications
for crop production in this part of the East Midlands this year.
Getting bloody desperate for water. Cant see anything in the near
forecast. Tonight's has fizzled out.

Seriously this country's agricultural businesses and practices have
been living on sand for a long while now. And we are going to look
pretty silly asking for the EU to bail our farmers out when the east
Europeans campare their lot with ours and ask why Tesco.co.etc don't
pay the farmers a living wage.

Speaking of which and somewhat off topic, what has been going on with
Tesco lately. I gather there is some opposition to them opening shops?

Not bothering with the news and stuff, I must have missed something.
What has inspired people to petrol bomb the buggers and not blow up
Parliament like they aught to?
