I had a cloudflare notice just once last night I think.
My mobile internet is steadily getting worse with the last 2 months. Gets dog slow from about 10am and gets worse as the day goes on . Doesn't improve till 11pm. I'm less than 2 miles to Vodafone mast clear view with full 4G coverage but it's slipping back to H+ today. I'm doing speed tests with the Vodafone app on the phone with nearly 6 weeks. Its getting to the stage where I'll be looking for postcards shortly.
I'm convinced they're throttling the speeds during the day. Day of the week doesn't matter. Goes to shyte everyday. Neighbours are complaining about the same thing.

yeah, a small bit. Getting notifications of unread threads and when I click in to followed threads, no unread posts in followed threads?

Iirc, one of the nodes must be out of sync so hopefully someone can give it a slap of a hammer to help it sync up again:pac:

Edit: Been told it's been sorted.

Its a bit of a joke. They can land a spacecraft on an asteroid millions of miles away travelling at God knows what speed without ever seeing the damn thing and yet I can't get a bit of decent internet speed from a mast 2 miles away. :rolleyes:

What does the 28 day TB extension mean?
Is it that farmers due annual herd tests have an extra 28 days to get the test done or that animals can be sold up to 365+28 days after a test.

The last time they gave farmers 28 days extra before their herds were restricted. I presume it is the same this time.

I got a form today about a Tb hardship grant. I'm locked up waiting for the results of lesions in a cow sent to the factory in August. Am I eligible for this payment or what's the story with it?

Highlights from the Good Wood speed festival on itv4 there, very enjoyable.

Are the pedigrees in your Dad's name/herd no? Reason I ask is I don't think dairy farmers qualify for the hardship grant, he might get it though.

Yea, a dairy farmer friend was restricted for two years and never got a penny, dairy farmers have the milkcheque so have cashflow

Mooooo

No compensation for lost milk sales. Lost a good number midway thru the year in 2 different years. All costs associated with milk production incurred and 20k worth of milk supply removed from ya....

I rang them there and she didn't know why the form was sent to me .

I was in town earlier today, stuck behind a delivery lorry in a 2 lane one way street when their left hand indicator came on so I indicated to overtake on the right and pulled out from behind him but something stopped me from going too hard.

Anyway, he swing out onto the right hand lane and I jammed on the brakes, only a few feet beyond the back of his lorry. Yer man jumps down shouting and pointing and cursing me all roads so I got out as well and said nothing, just beckoned him behind his lorry to show him his indicator flashing left and the right one dead.

"Yeah, well you should be more f***ing careful, you c***!", sez he and back into his lorry so I stopped there because he couldn't reverse back to where he wanted to go with my car left there and I couldn't drive forward with his lorry blocking both lanes. And I couldn't reverse as there was more cars pulled up behind me.

He eventually had to drive off and come round again. First time in ages I've seen an indicator blown in a lorry so be careful out there, folks.

Wasnt there something that the sanitizer being used in schools shouldn't contain alcohol in case kids drank it

Water John

It contained methanol instead of ethanol.

My dad was stuck behind a neighbour in his tractor one time. He knew where he would be turning off the road so didn’t overtake. He had to cross the road but the wrong indicator came on. Dad stopped to tell him and neighbour said they couldn’t be as he had just checked them recently. He put it on and they were working correctly. Dad then said to push the break and see and when he did the other indicator came on.
Can’t be careful enough.

Ya, passed mine today. Garages open too.

Tractor has been struggling and messing about starting.

Put on an new starter today and it’s like a new tractor.

I hate, hate, hate a yoke that is dodgy starting. Old it may be, but it really must start.

Why is the department of agriculture in charge of the sanitizer?

Water John

They knew for weeks it was being questioned and knew this day last week it had to be withdrawn. Min of Ag told yesterday. He should have skin and hair flying in there, but he seems a mild man.
