I've not tried this, so treat with caution, but I'm do know someone who put coils of pipes through the hot bit of the muck heap so that when the water was connected it heated up as it ran through the heap. as the heap cooled it was chucked back and fresh put on top of the pipes. Seemed to work...

Just wishing they'd put it on earlier in the evening on Friday night! Always end up watching the repeat on Saturday cos I fell asleep!

He won't be finding it so funny when he gets a hit in his profits. Karma. I do feel sorry for his staff though, it's not their fault the boss is an arse. Edited to add the law should be perfectly enforceable in this case, it's not as if their isn't any evidence or a lack of witnesses.

Thanks ester, I'm not too tech savvy so couldn't post it or a link to the article from my basic little phone

Have seen a story on DM online about the owner of a chain of pet stores (name rhymes with pets horner) who had a massive firework display at his home resulting in the death of a horse and extreme distress to others and other pets in the village. He allegedly laughed in the faces of the villagers...

Patience and perseverance worked wonders when I had this problem. Also, lots of treats and fuss when he was a good boy.

So Sorry, but I disagree. In your case with clipped out horses, yes they would be pretty useless; but for my two oldies who don't get clipped they're great for keeping wind and rain off when it's starting to get chilly. Of course I go for rugs with varying weights of filling when it turns...

Fair enough, I'd do the same I've it was going to be a big drop. I'd only leave the same if there were a couple of degrees difference, the forecasters can get it soooo wrong! TBH I usually take 2 degrees off whatever they say it will be.

For a couple of cold nights I'd leave as is rather than chop and change, but monitor to see how they're doing just in case. If a longer spell of cold is forecast I'd change to a low level of filling and go from there.

That's some really good advice there, thank you.

Taylor made in Cookham might have space. They're a full livery yard, hacking can be a bit pants as roadwork is necessary to get to the bridleways (not their fault, obviously). Care is good, lovely big all weather school, and they're all a friendly bunch 🙂

Unfortunately that's the bit rude recruiters don't take into account. I don't think they realise the effect it has on mental health. I've been in her shoes, and my OH is wearing them right now. It's soul destroying, and we're at the other end of our careers so you think we'd have some...

I think the livery hunting is the bit that's worrying me the most. You're right, lots of good houses! Looking for livery from a distance I'm finding a daunting proposition.

Sorry you're finding it difficult to do your job. 'Time consuming' oh what a problem to have! Spare a thought for the applicants many of whom will be desperate for a job in order to be able to pay their bills or get started on a career. Sure you'll get applications that might not be up to...

The job market is a bloody nightmare, for everyone. I really do feel for your daughter. Since the advent of AI where CVS get run through a matching system before anyone even reads them you can find yourself 'on the scrap pile' and being ignored through not fault of your own other than not...
