One man's meat
Article Abstract:
Household expenditure on beef in the UK has now almost fully returned to its pre-BSE levels. However, there is considerable uncertainty about the future of the country's small abattoirs, many of which are being very negatively affected by the heavy burden of regulations imposed by the European Commission. The closure of large numbers of small abattoirs would lead to the loss of many jobs in rural areas, as well as cutting off the source of the best meat available in the UK. The European Commission has lifted the ban on UK beef, but exporting beef means dealing with a great deal of bureaucracy.

Old tricks for a young dog
Article Abstract:
Anyone considering training a puppy to be a gun dog must be prepared to work extremely hard. It will be necessary to make considerable initial investment, both in the puppy itself and in related equipment, and the owner must be willing to accept that the puppy will inevitably cause a considerable amount of damage. It the puppy is to be professionally trained, this will take 16 weeks and cost at least 800 pounds sterling.

The mystery of Rudolf Hess
Article Abstract:
There is strong evidence that the man who landed in a German plane near Glasgow, Scotland, in 1941 was not Rudolf Hess. It appears that the UK government was aware of this and covered up the truth.
