I worked with someone in spoons that went in for a dna test. He knew the kid was his but she was refusing to put his name on the birth certificate. She said if he contested it she would drag it out meaning he couldnt get visiting rights. He went on because it was solved there and then and quicker then the courts. He knew he was going to be laughed at, but wanted to be there for his kids 1st birthday so jusy did it. Not advocating for a very shit and mean show. But shows the state of the court system where Jeremy Kyle covered a need

Very anecdotal, but a farmer near where I grew up used to have an orchid of plum trees, one year he had a bad harvest due to frost the supplier he sold to bought from anorak with more reliability on yield. Those plum trees have now been cut down and turned into a grain field. Variability with globalisation seems to punish risk taking with variable yields for reliability

Farmer near me used to have quote a few plum trees, but he cut them all down when a spring frost killed off the crop and he lost his fruit contracts as suppliers sort a more reliable source from france.
