Called eurotunnel, they can't help so put me on to defra.
Called defra, they can't work out the rules either, said ask France. However, they don't know who in France to ask!
It 'appears' that France will accept a 3 year vaccination if a booster, but not if it's an initial one.
Ours is a booster, but it's the first to appear in the pet passport, so 'appears' to be an initial one.

Upshot is the guy very carefully avoided saying France may be arseholes, whilst alluding to the fact I should avoid all possibilities of them being able to be arseholes. Looks like we not only need to travel before the vaccination runs out, but we need to get a booster done too as if not done in time the whole process starts again. Once this booster is done we then have 3 years going forward and all is good.

This means we need to travel 2 weeks earlier than planned, which means we have to sort out the mates flat in Lincoln somehow and I'll miss seeing my mate from Canada who I've not seen in a decade and is visiting in June :soz:

Might I suggest getting a pet passport done in Latvia if you are taking the dogs over there. France has to honour passports from other EU countries. We got our two done in France when we went at Christmas.

The DEFRA bloke is right though. You want to remove as many opportunities as possible for French officialdom to behave like arseholes. It is their raison d'être.

Yeah, they have Latvian ones, the confusion is that apparently France only recognises 3 year rabies vaccinations if its a booster but the initial is always 1 year. Mine is a booster and says valid for 3 years, but the previous one was done in the UK and doesn't count as it's not in the pet passport.

I feel like I should be fine, as the Latvian one says valid, but it's the French...

... if you can get fluorescent dye that works on feathers and doesn't require boiling?

I dismantled the mower carb to clean it and had a volunteer to help with the fiddly bits.

It became clear that his efforts were not purely altruistic, as he regards my mowing activities as being a free beating service for him, provoking people from the grass areas to expose themselves for his hunting activities.

This involves running around my feet and in front of the mower - it's all a little stressful.

Why doesn't Marmite go mouldy?

Noticing the end of the current jar in sight just now and entering it into my subconscious 'get some more at some point' list, I decided to look for a date - Best Before June 2021.

Now, it will have been opened fairly immediately, whenever it was actually bought, as it's not stuff that is bought for general stock, but would be opened fairly soon after purchase.

I'm tempted to leave a bit in this jar and see what happens...


'Salt' does come high up on the ingredients list, so I presume that is it?

I asked the Great Unwashed Jesus looking thing in the Back Bedroom this question, and he says it is simply the high salt content. And, as long as you don't double dip - get butter or sumat else in it - then it should in effect last 30 or 40 years. But even then, it will be the butter or whatever foreign object you have put in it that will go mouldy.
I don't know where the child (He's 32) gets his brains from, it certainly isn't from me. Quite possibly the other half of the DNA pool.

Was white dog poo still around in the 70s? From some time in the 1940s canned dog food contained a lot of ground bone as there wasn't much meat available for dog food, most of the bone went straight through, hence the white poo. Thought that the ground bone faded out in the 60s as the meat content increased.

I can remember it being around late 60's /early 70's when my gran had a little scotty dog. Always used to associate it with scotties 😂 Never knew why it was white until your post though.

No-one seems go the butchers for dog bones anymore though, that along with Chappie dog food produced white dog poo.

Edited for completely wrong word
