Hi Folks, With British beef and BSE back in the bulletins, I'm reminded of a question I'd been meaning to try to find an answer to. I know it's not that statistical, but probably some of you out there are placed to have an insight into it. Question: How come that, of all the beef-producing countries, the UK is the one that got all the stick and the beef ban? Were we the only ones with a BSE problem? Or were we the only ones to investigate properly and own up? Or did we own up to something erroneous? Or <substitute favourite hypothesis here>? Intrigued. Private replies please; if anything comes of it I'll summarise. Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[log in to unmask]> Date: 04-Aug-99 Time: 09:44:31 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
