helping the nanny goats at the BBC to keep us entertained. Got a reply toning the saying that the licence fee would mean I could more of the old programmes !!! And of course some new ones!!
Anyway, another subject - steak and good beef. Now, for long enough we (scots) have been promoting Scotch Beef though the Scotch Beef Society, and any establishment involved in the scheme has to sign up and keep records for inspection by the Society's inspectors showing the providence of the beef. In the last two years we have had cases through the court which allow products to be protected , just like Champagne, I.e. Arbroath smokies, Stornoway black budding, Cornish pasties, Harris tweed, and of course Scotch whiskey.
In the financial page of one of the papers today there was an item about the Co-Op investing money into the marketing of products as being grown in the UK. HOWEVER! A couple of days ago some ultra bright plonker in the EU has come up with the recommendation that all foodstuffs, where relevant and if sourced within the EU should be packaged and labelled as "Product of Europe", what a load of cobblers. I wonder if our Hollyrood marvels will encourage this, or for once standby our producers.
Not been a good day today, back to bed early and munching pain killers once again.
