22nd Feb. 2017.

Currently working on preparing the presentation on the River Hull, its history and significance – Will be titled ‘River Hull, Friend or Foe’. More about this tomorrow.

Don’t often record things that upset me, but recently saw BBC programme of Hairy Bikers sampling fried chicken in parts of U.S.A. – not once did they comment on the massive factory farming units that churn out sufficient chickens to meet this demand, units that are an environmental nightmare and that subject these animals to appauling living conditions during their short, bleak lives. Shameful. For further info. see Lymbery, P. and Oakeshott, I Farmageddon, the true cost of Cheap Meat (Bloomsbury, 2014).
