    Fibbers sent me a Happy Birthday on Facebook......I think they're trying to entice me up:eek:
    Does Fibbers have or had tree trunks for tables? The name is familiar, it sounds like a place I used to drink in as a child.

    Interesting story. You wouldn't see it in the Journal. I mooted this during a CAP debate on here. I said that the amount per HA should be capped instead of capping the total amount. I nearly had my head bitten off. See how the big wig farm organisations are against that because a lot of their high up men are getting more than €400 per HA. Why would someone need more than €400 per HA? Why would someone deserve more than €400 per HA?

    http://www.independent.ie/incoming/debate-rages-over-capping-entitlement-values-at-400ha-29476123.html

    How many pages do you think the Journal will have on it tomorrow, maybe a pull out section :confused:

    I'll start so. I'd have much less of a problem with a cap @ €400/ha if there was also a cap at around 80ha. I can't see why anyone would need payments above this level If you can't make a living out of 200 acres esp of owned land then extra payments aren't what you need.

    Make it 90 hectares and I'll agree with you :D
