  2. Perhaps more will be interested now it's starting to make the national news. But don't despair Richard, there are many reading this blog who are too timid to comment, afraid of being attacked ... as those of us running the Dairy campaign were ... but it doesn't meant they don't agree with you. Best wishes - Deborah
