Excited to have first major press reaction to our new AstralMandala health & wellness initiative for all businesses. North East business pilots wellbeing initiative via @bdaily.

But phone and Internet coverage - appalling . Let the train take the strain - good idea and OK to do work IF have Internet. In 7 hours I reckon I had good coverage for 2. How hard can it be to run lines down tracks with small phone masts every few miles. Or put Starlink on trains.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

7 hours on trains today - good and bad. When train days start (broken down train) everything knocks on and my train was stopped short of destination - frustrating but understandable and all staff helped work out alternate routing - good. But . .

The corollary of the point I am making is that the IHT should be determined on the land's earning power as with all businesses and not nominal land value. The earning power valuation (EPV) is a fraction of the land valuation. Under EPV no small or medium farmer would come.

4 and last. Clearly farms aren't like other businesses (and there are many arguments in addition to above). But I hope I have showed how stupid Labour's argument is. This needs to be made clear to wider public. And labour need to withdraw their IHT proposal TODAY.

No. 3.If that is fair and surely it must be (but adjust NP and ROIC to your taste) then QUESTION. How much must farmers RAISE their prices to get this return level??. I'd hazard a guess at doubling them. So are you are happy with that Labour???. If you're not the STOP IT.

No 2. So if we are like everyone else then it only seems fair we should be like all other businesses then. So shall we say we get a net profit of 15% and a ROIC of 10%-15% then?. Oh sorry we are only paying half IHT so let's say 7% then. FAIR?????.

Thread. I don't understand NFU's approach to inheritance tax case on Farmers. Demolish the Government position through logic. Everyone pays IHT. Ok we Farmer's should then. (Wait for it!!).Ah you're going to levy IHT on farms at half rate then - well thank you (wait for it!!).

Methinks Google doesn't understand the concept of approximate :

Do you know what is more frustrating that never getting problems solved by Phone Bots?.It is teh fact that I know as an engineer they could be designed to help - but they aren't. Latest culprit of many Three Mobile.

M3 ar complete standstill both northbound and southbound closer to M25 between Junctions 2 and 3. Must be very major accident to close both directions. Can see blue lights ahead but nothing moving at all.

@Adobe @Adobe Oh this is classic - just looked at my CURRENT plan and it says Cloud Storage 100GB. What say you Adobe - if I have Cloud Storage why have you deleted my data???. (And yes this is a contemporaneous screen shot less than a minute ago.)

@Adobe @Adobe Well I know I went water skiing but apparently you don;t anymore - UNBELIEVABLE. Looks like a mass exodus from Adobe products is warranted - nay even necessary

@Adobe You better have a way of getting my data back from backup/archive or I see a lawsuit coming - if not a class action one.

You should keep data for years when discontinuing a service. You are a photo and video company for Gxx's sake - you don't deliberately delete data when I am way within my Creative Cloud limits.

@British_Airways No processed on both Edge and Chrome and both are not submitting - what gives?.

Ten resubmit tries now - trying to bore me are you?

So @British_Airways You have a good flight compensation process, but suspicious as to why simple forms keep failing to upload and I have to try and try again - and keep failing (WIth a 30 min timeout warning).
