And another thing on a similar theme was a request from DEFRA not to carry out a TB test before 31st November and that's official ! Even better was a farmer client who had, on the same day, two letters from DEFRA, one saying he would be under restriction if test not carried out by the 6th and one saying it must not be carried out before the 8th. Good ol' DEFRA, don't you think they are just wonderful?

I have vague recollections of a very short lived DEFRA form which was a triplicate, self carbonating one which had to be filled in on both sides! Sheer brilliance!

Getting more serious again folks, that "12p.m" and "12a.m." nonsense irritates me like a flea bite on the waistband, because it just reveals such ignorance.
