As one victim of foot and mouth, I like it. Me? A victim? Yes. It wrecked my weekends, stopping me from walking anywhere in the country for months. A trivial observation? Possibly. But it shows that farmers are by no means the only victims. I have a great deal of sympathy for the hotel keepers, pub owners, B&B proprietors and others whose lives have been thrown into turmoil by a farming community that too often shows little regard for the rest of society and thinks that we owe it a living. So, will any of the proceeds go to the hotel we like on the Lizard that has doubtless been hit hard this year because farmers have forgotten the simplest facts of the science of contagion?

He made a plea at the end of the interview that he wants the coin to get into all schools and wants help from national organisations to publicise this. Come on you Science Year activitists, how about taking him on board! His tel/fax number is: 01726 63721. Hope you are all well, Maria
