Walking round the park with him the other day I heard him talking on his mobile phone thingy to some geezer or other who commented that despite the UK supposedly "running dry" of wheat there seemed to be plenty of it coming out of the woodwork. So much so that end-user homes for it were just starting to become a bit more difficult to find than they'd have expected. I wonder if that's got anything to do with a certain bioethanol refinery that was going to start up during this marketing year now not doing so? I mean they must have had some wheat put to one side for it surely? It wouldn't surprise me either if those muppets at Defra have got the carryover figures wrong every year since Lassie was a pup, so there might just be a lot more wheat sloshing around out there than the official figures show. There's always some supposed clever sod who's going to carry his stuff right up until the last minute to make a killing too isn't there? I wonder how many of them are around and what volume they are sitting on? On top of that there are some huge price increases waiting in the wings from the compound feed industry come May. That will effectively kill off the already waning demand from that sector. I've got a funny feeling about all of this ending in tears...
You couldn't make it up could you. I spent much of the weekend dozing on the sofa watching telly. Glastonbury was on, although sad to say there was no Snoop Dog, Bone Jovi or any other canine related artists. The big news seemed to be the lack of female headliners and now we know why as one scored a spectacular own goal. She missed her slot cos she was doing her hair. It takes ages she said. Why NOT start doing your hair well before your show time. Aaagh no where's my handbag I've left it in the car, I've got to back to fetch it.
