Or, as so often the case, when trying to discuss an issue that ruffles feathers, finding it gets waylaid by some wonderfully imaginative obfuscation to transform the discussion from whatever topic, into some personal recollections of shooting Rooks as teenagers, or the increasing Badger numbers, or the benefits of old fashioned milk bottles……

I got to the stage where I would say the opposite of what I wanted because I knew he would diametrically oppose me. And then I’d concede graciously and get exactly what I wanted after all.
He had been around for years and was trusted and influential to that older generation of members, so I kept him close as an ally, if you could win him, you’d leap frog a whole hog of hard yakka!

You realise getting the credit doesn’t matter number's the end result that counts.
As we got further into it, it got worse! ( more to follow)
But we’re through that now. Itvall feels like it’s pulling in the same direction.

Jaw jaw ultimatly, is always better than war war
