    We've had a family live at the bottom of our graden looked so cute last year the mum/dad playing with their children. They've gone but the poo smell is awful
    Why on earth would you invite people like that to camp in your garden?

    The purpose of the law is primarily to contain any health risk from unfit meat to the smallest possible number of people, whilst still allowing people to slaughter and eat their own animals in a limited way.

    The law applies two tests - (1) the meat can only be consumed by members of the 'immediate family' and (2) the people have to be living at the same place.  Together these act as highly restrictive conditions.

    You cannot give or sell the meat to family members who don't live with you, and you can't feed guests/lodgers etc the meat even if they 'live' with you.

    I see thank you that's interesting. I guess then if the family sends the animal to an abattoir these restrictions wouldn't apply as the meat would be inspected.

    "woolly" lol my manager said that to me re one of my reports and I responded by saying, "at least it;s not total BS."  I felt the rage but I can never take rubbish.

    Lamb chops anyone? :D

    Oh bless them! :)

    I absolutely agree with the poster who mentioned how human-like a sheep cough is btw. It's as uncanny as how much a vixen sounds like a screaming woman.
