Ahem. Taunton (and West Bagborough) is in Somerset, not Devon? Not that I'm anti-Devon, it's very nice and all that. It's just that Somerset is nicer 6E.gif

Yes, but on the main 'Nationwide sales and shows thread'. viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5218 . Obviously I was so outraged at being accused of being Devonian that I posted in the wrong place 31.gif

I'll get my coat ... :)

Sorry for any offence, thanks for pointing it out Chez. Just keeping you all on your toes, well that's my excuse....or maybe it was the fact that the Auctioneers office is in Exeter, now where is that? :smt017 Now I'm really confused... but I've altered them all to read Somerset and I've managed to add a postcode to make it even easier.

Exeter is Devon, just to make your confusion worse :).

If anyone ever needs directions, I am literally a mile up the road from London Farm, so do let me know.

Well, I went for an hour and with an almost *superhuman* effort I left before they started selling - otherwise I'd have come home with all sorts of marriage-breaking things :). I though it was much nicer than the Bridgewater/ Sedgemoor auction last week, the birds were less stressed for a start; although it was smaller, I think.

I do wish they wouldn't allow chicks that should still be on heat to be sold in this cold weather, though :(
