  1. Something like this: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fp%2F652025187 They come in various sizes with different size connectors, so you need to work out which is the right type.
  2. They just buy it from TPS anyway. Also your local branch may be run by the dealer. As I understand it they are franchises.
  3. Sheep are apparently the best thing to tend the grass on solar farms, mowers can't get in around all of the supports without a risk of damaging them.
  4. The key bit there is "laying eggs". There's a place near me like that and they have put solar panels in the fields where the birds wander too.
  5. I do human health risk assessment at work and there is a government publication with a graph of blood lead levels versus IQ and you can adjust how much more stupid you would accept people being to work out what is an acceptable intake of lead.
  6. You do realise there is a considerable flow of water through lakes, otherwise it would go tits up quick and everything dies. it may look all calm and unmoving but it isn't.
  7. A lot are not. I did some work for a chicken company a few years ago, they were reared for meat, the aim was as many as possible in as little space in the shortest possible time. The parent company also did cattle and had one plant which could handle something like 10,000 cows a day, I think it was in Brazil.
  8. Well I have some bad news for you about chickens, cattle, sheep and pretty much anything else which is intensively farmed.
  9. Land locked countries are great for fish farming, less risk of disease, getting it and spreading it, less risk of accidental release, particularly for sea fish. Less loss from predators etc.
  10. That is part of it. The kicker is how it applies to 3rd countries. As we will not be a member and have no deal we therefore crash out and our regulators need to reapply as competent authorities. that means a whole lot of stuff has to happen, see here: https://ec.europa.eu/food/safety/international_affairs/trade/non-eu-countries_en the second problem is that as you rightly point out we will need to strike an agreement about this. But there is small issue of us crashing out and having no deals on anything, so this is one of the many deals we will then need to do. It should be noted that Switzerland has 11 agreements with the EU covering SPS.
  11. It depends on where the fish go. They are **** at map reading and terrible at remembering to renew their passports.
  12. It's where the fish goes (and particularly the things that aren't fish, such as shellfish). SPS strikes again and it is worse for fish etc. as they are even more time critical to get to market, so inspections, queues etc. are very bad.
  13. Strangely enough the UK has never exported stuff to the EU as a non member no. Why would the rules on how we export food to a country that isn't the EU be identical to the rules that apply to importing to the EU? If that was the case then everyone would have the same rules and the EU would be irrelevant. As an importer we are not subject to the rules the exporters are and as the EU do the approval process through the European Commission, Directorate General for Health and Food Safety which is based in Ireland we haven't had to do very much. When we leave we won't be a member anymore, remember that was the point. So we need to register, but to do that we need not be a member of the EU, so we can't do it until we leave and it will probably takes about 6 months to go through the process. that wouldn't be so much of a problem if we had a transition period as it gives us time to sort it out. Also we need to have all of the appropriate regulatory bodies in place to oversee things and guess what, we are little behind on that. The issue is that as a member of the EU we can't be a non member of the EU. When we leave we will no longer be members and as shocking as this may sound the rules that apply to non member states will apply to the UK as a non member state. As a fun aside the SPS requirements apply to wooden pallets, so not just food, anything on a wooden pallet.
  14. Go and read about sanitary and phytosanitary checks and also the requirement for the approval process required for non EU countries to import food of animal origin - which I believe the UK has not started to do.
