Locally "samhiyi".

I also think they'd welcome a rainy morning as the area is incredibly dry and arid. That's why the goats eat the argan - there's nowt else.

've realised how insensitive this post was. To all the goat poo dissection professionals who read the forum, I apologise.

If it's any consolation, I spent most of today cleaning out rotten leaves and bird shit from a flooded hospital building gutter system with internal hidden downpipes, meaning they couldn't be rodded out. I would have given my right arm to go through some nice dry goat poo instead. The glamour of rope access 😞

There was almost half a page in The Sunday Times about Rachel Elnaugh and the fears of locals that it will become a magnet for conspiracy theorists. I would put a link but it's paywalled.

Surely they themselves are a conspiracy...?

Another column about Rachel Elnaugh in Private Eye (No. 1597, 5-18 May, p22).

Mention of the enforcement notice, also her political party "LOVE" (love-party.co.uk) for which she stood in today's elections.

She got 175 votes.

Took the dog for a walk down there this morning, and it looks like everything's been cleared off site and the hardstanding removed. Interestingly, just above there in the woods, there's a coe and run-in adit...
