Foot and Mouth Disease
Guy90:
You know what? I don't care if I can't go off road for the next six months, it is only a hobby, as it is for all the rest of us.[/quote]
Unless you make your living from off roading!!!
Farmers got massively compensated last time. Those in service industries affected got nothing. How is that right?

Quite agree i mainly saw the effect, campsites shut, B&B's local pubs cancelled local shows, above all "good will" was lost.
No "off roading" people drifted away, local clubs lost members, people got out of it. parts suppliers noticed a deline esp. in speclise parts.
Looking back lanes were closed but never to reopen, events never to run again, certain clubs never felt the same again. In some ways its never recovered from the last time.

Well, Im a registered gamekeeper with Defra and usually, things like this I get a phone call telling me to check this, that and the other....this time I saw it on the news, so they cant be acting that quickly!!!!
It does tend to bring the country to a halt agriculturally, no transporting livestock, all beast in the area culled, washing down wheels and vehicles on and off the roads and farms, disinctant carpets every couple of miles on rural roads!!

Hopefully this time they may have learned a few lessons. :? :? :?

I guess we'll all be affected in some way sooner or later.
And the shooting season is less than a month away............ :(bigcry):
