NFU Conference 2018

In a bold attempt to move with the times I see the National Farmers Union has appointed it's first ever female President - Minette Batters. Good job her first name is MINETTE and not FANNY ! Woof. Minette has founded various farming initiatives - such as ‘Ladies in Beef’ - and the ‘Great British Beef Week’. They both sound like the sort of thing that would catch Boris Johnson's attention.

My uncle tells me when he was a lad his favourite biscuit was called - Gypsy Creams. He loved eating them as a treat when visiti
