Did you know that over 80% of mutton produced or sold in the UK is eaten by just 5% of the population?

Well I do now!
I get annoyed by some peoples attitudes to food; idiots that would rather spend £3 on ready meals than spend less to eat better, just because they can't be arsed to try and cook. Even a retard can spend 20 minutes making a stir fry for example.

I found it out via a project I worked on. Mutton is popular within the Muslim population.
A bunch of Northumbrian sheep farmers wanted to exploit the market, but the lack of an accredited abattoir in the region scuppered them, unfortunately.

The funding for pretty much all charities is down; combination of a severe reduction in any local government funding, patron fund matching and general donations through generic fundraising efforts.

I tried match for a while, but I read an article that 98% of their profiles are inactive
