Neighbours
In article , Barry & Iris McCanna
writes "Sacha" wrote in message .uk... . We have quiet neighbours, quite perfect in fact. We live next door to the churchyard. ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk Our nearest neighbours are over a quarter of a mile away, but all the farmers in the surrounding area are wonderful bar one, who farms a field on one of our boundaries. He is very careless with his weedkiller and we find every year that over a metre inside our boundaries starts to die off. He does the same to all the neighbouring farmers and one took revenge last year by killing off some of his maize. We have asked him to be more careful, but we just get a shrug. Our main concern is to know when he does it and what he uses because of our two precious dogs. Our youngest has this afternoon been taken to the vet by my husband as he is suddenly far from well and we hope and pray he has not eaten something. I am just waiting and hoping .............. Iris McCanna Iris, Colin Boswell is/was a Farmer here on the Isle of Wight at Newchurch and farms/grows Garlic. One of his employees asked for protective clothing whilst spraying the fields of Garlic, this was refused and said employee was sacked. Employee took Boswell to court for unfair dismissal. Employee not only won the case, but Boswell was fined heavily (to such an extent that I 'believe' he had to sell his share of the farm), not only for lack of care in providing protection for his employees and sacking same, BUT, for using a banned chemical, so, A) Is your farmer using a banned chemical? (I doubt it, but it might stir things up a bit if you ask in the right places as to what he is using) B) Is your farmer taking proper precautions? (By the sound of it, no) C) Have you complained to Environmental Health? D) Have you complained via your vet? I love these cases ;-} Chase him.
