Over Farm, near Gloucester, has 800 acres of arable crops. But that's not why 2,500 people go there every week
Article Abstract:
Farm shops are increasingly attracting people who see a visit to them as a recreational experience, rather than an unpleasant chore. Farms such as Over Farm, near Gloucester, have developed many interesting features, such as unusual animals and produce, and people really enjoy visiting them. However, produce sold in farm shops still only accounts for less than 10% of produce sold throughout the UK, and they will never be really successful unless they are extremely welcoming to the general public, which has not always been the case.

Article Abstract:
There is now a great deal of politically inspired comedy on television in the UK. This has become a very popular form of television programming, and has not been affected by the switch to a Labour government. In the early days of political satire, it was considered very daring to make fun of politicians. Nowadays, many politicians feel that comedy is the future of politics. They regard politically inspired comedy programmes as subversive, and feel that surviving being the object of satire serves to boost their image.

Horse massage? Pull the other one
Article Abstract:
There are now around 16 people in the UK who have trained in massage techniques for horses, and it is now becoming more widely accepted that massage can be very beneficial for all types of horses. It is important to have an understanding of horse anatomy, physiognomy and locomotion, and to be able to handle the few horses who do not enjoy being massaged. Most horses respond very positively, and owners have reported greatly improved performance.
