Yes everyone will be paranoid about eating beef. Wont stop me though.

Tesco's are ready with alternatives...

[RATTER15]

I will be stocking the freezer!

The last time there was a scare we ended up with a freezer full of prime Scottish steaks at give away prices.Will be keeping an eye out or bargains again.

Can't you buy ozzie beef?
No mad cows out here, well, except for the occasional one I meet at the pub ;-)

[RATTER15]

1ozzy, why would we need to, we have plenty of beef here, just a bit pricey, as would ozzy beef be after it has been flown halfway around the world.

[1ozzy]

It's the ones I meet at the pub that I thought we may export.
Maybe not ;-)

RATTER, a friend of mine who lives in Northern Ireland has told me that NI lamb is dearer than New Zealand lamb. How crazy is that?

[RATTER15]

Vulcan, you may be right, I think New Zealand lamb is bred and shipped in such vast quantities, I doubt that the same applies to beef.

I looked into rearing my own lambs, even then I couldn't rear them cheaper than I could buy them!

[1ozzy]

Vulcan, if you had ever met a Kiwi you would know how dear there lambs are to them ;-)

The Welsh have been known to get quite attached as well.

I've "herd" that Ratter ;-)

[RATTER15]

How the "flock" did you hear about that!!

[EDDIE51]

New Zealand has at least twice as many sheep as it has people.( I think I heard it was 4x as many) that is why it can sell it so cheap.

I thought I saw Charlotte Church on Question Time last night?

[1ozzy]

I herd it on the grapevine Ratter!
