Reality check?
I think the financial implications are obvious.
Only the EU Govts. fail to see the root causes.

Part of a report in my local paper that I haven't seen anywhere else:

"The source of the infection is unknown, but the affected farm is believed to be only six kilometres from the Pirbright laboratory of the Institute for Animal Health where foot-and-mouth virus is held for research purposes.

The virus is very easily transmitted by wind and highly contagious once it becomes established among farm stock."

You've been watching repeats of 'Doomwatch' again, haven't you? [img]http://www.egafd.com/forum/smileys/grin.gif[/img]

It does seem rather strange, the proximity of the lab.

True, but I couldn't resist the temptation.
Sorry. I will attempt to inject some gravitas into future posts.
I've got a tube of it somewhere around here.....

No apology required. I am just humbled that you would notice my little posts

OK, you've outmannered me again, you utterly gentlemanly person.
