Rural policy: farming today | Editorial
Well-designed environmental schemes can make the difference between survival and extinction for some speciesWe need to talk about farming. There's a lot to talk about. There's the brilliant green of close-cropped grassland and the tidy hedges of tourist brochure England. And there is the environmental impact of so much human intervention on a landscape. There are the golden grain plains of the east and the value of those regular hectares of weed-free, lifeless barley and the hundreds of cattle it will one day feed. And there's the cost of finding horse in your burger again. And over the grey Cumbrian fells hovers the quest...

If you can't use an apostrophe, you don't know your shit | Mind your language
Greengrocers – and big supermarkets – may struggle to tame the 'apostrofly', but it's not actually that hardI used to think "weer" in the song Mama Weer All Crazee Now was Slade's idiosyncratic spelling of "were", in Black Country dialect (which I am allowed to make fun of because my family originally came from there): "My mother weer a bit croizy, loike." It turns out, more prosaically, to be Slade's idiosyncratic spelling of "we're" as in "Mother dear, we are all rather eccentric these days."
