Do you think he struggled with that on Virgin West Coast or was he dropped (not hard enough: Ed) by one of mate Elon’s helicopters.

I simply wondered if goats, who are far less fussy than sheep or cattle regarding diet, would have less environmental impact if fenced in.

never mind that ,much more interested in why my snacking has to stop - given what's happening Joe Wickes should be grateful I've not got Laphroaig on an IV drip.
