I've just seen the season's first trailer-load of suger beet, so the
cyclists of East Anglia should watch out for large lorries and lots of mud
on rural roads.

Fairly normal for my neck of the woods all year round. If it's not the beet
lorries it's some other form of agricultural machinery. The absolute worst
to get stuck behind are the ones containing the filth cleaned out from the
bottom of poultry sheds... Vomit inducing stuff

I find the beet lorries worst, because beet is piled up at the edge of
the road and is picked up by large trucks in all weathers, putting a lot
more mud on the road in the process. Grain is harvested in the dry and
the tractors immediately haul smaller trailers to the local granery.
For carrots, onions, potatos, etc the trucks are flat bed with canvas
sides and they pick up from a concreted storage facility, so not so bad.

Agriculture is not generally smelly round here, and I love it when the
board beans are in flower!

Remember as a kid, the 'beet on the outside kerb of the Hardwick
Roundabout outide 'Lynn where the lorries had taken it a bit sharpish
on the way to the Saddlebow beet processing plant, and on at least one
occaision when one really overcooked it and the whole lot ended up on
its side on the outside kerb of the Hardwick ... etc :o)

From their handling of their vehicles I swear the drivers are as high

as kites on some concoction derived from the contents of their trailers.

local variant on the vomit zone?

Naarf'k Turkeee.

One is given to understand that the proprietor promotes the fowls in
question upon the commercial television broadcast.

In between tossing them in the air and clubbing them with sticks.

It's the stuff that ends up in garden centres as "chicken manure fertiliser".
Much less vomit inducing by the time it's processed, but still even less
recommended as a foodstuff than KFC.
