UK Harvest Latest

According to ADAS "settled weather prevailed over the eastern side of England" this week, enabling the wheat harvest to reach 90% done.

Settled weather? I suppose that constant non-stop rain lashing down day after day is 'settled' in a weird ADAS sort of way. No wonder Indian monsoon rains are low, it's all falling over here.

Odd bits and bobs remain to be harvested in the north and Scotland, they say. Falling slightly short of adding 'it serves those soft buggers right for farming in such a hostile place'.

To save you the trouble of having to read the full report I'll précis it here:

The harvest is now finished in the south east, the breadbasket of England, that's all we're bothered about. The Huns up north have probably got stuff left to bring in, but bugger them. How they must kick themselves every day that they don't farm the rich fertile lands of the mystic East, home to top class football from the likes of Peterborough United and Norwich City. Look at the beautiful featureless scenery, peppered by gangs of illegal Romanian gypsies hand-picking carrots, if you look really hard you might see a tree. Hahahahaha, we've got it all down here.
