Scots

Maybe the farmers up in Scotland are starting to get nervous about what happens when they bust up the union after we leave the EU and we have a nice big wall stretching from the mouth of the Tweed to the Solway Firth.

Who is going to buy all their beef when we have done a deal with the Argies for some of theirs? Will they be reduced to feeding it, free of charge, to all the refugees settling down on their side of the wall?

The evidence being a large hoarding advertising Scotch Beef (the badge of same just visible, top right) appearing last week on the southbound platform at Earlsfield Station.

With the hoarding mainly containing a large piece of cooked fore rib, with some bone but not very much and with virtually no fat blanket at all. But not bad and it did look quite eatable,

While the stuff I used to get from Cheam had plenty of bone, as dug up and noticed at reference 1, although it was a bit low on fat too. From where I associate to the picture of a fore rib in a Devon newspaper, noticed some years ago, being offered by a butcher to a Frenchman who had flown in to a North Devon hotel for the purpose. Proper blanket of fat there, maybe half an inch or more, so he clearly had enough money to have his beef the way he wanted it.
