08/03/13 -- Cheshire feed manufacturers M E Waterhouse and H J Lea Oakes have joined foreces I hear. The new business is going to be called H J M E WaterLeaOakesHouse, or HJMEWLOH for short. Nah, it isn't, I made that bit up. Which got me thinking that would be a bugger of a hand in scrabble wouldn't it?

H J Lea Oakes date back to 1675, which they say makes them "perhaps the longest established independent animal feed manufacturer in Britain." There can't be many that could beat that. There is I am assured no truth in the rumour that they've had the same mill buyer all this time.

Watherhouse Feeds are mere whippersnappers by comparison, having only got going at this milling malarkey in 1883.
