And when did you last see a piece of mutton for sale, or offered on a

We had some 12 days ago. It has been relegalised.

Why was it illegalised?

BSE. Our Lords and Masters wanted to ensure that animals were killed
before they showed signs of BSE, to make it easier to claim that the
country was BSE free.

For beef cattle that was before 30 months, I think. What was it for sheep,
do you know?
