Foot and Mouth

[hamster8 at ...]

Scott - everything is fine.  There never really *were* any general 
travel restrictions - it was footpaths and countryside attractions 
that were closed down.  As I understand it, most of these things are 
now open again.

My belief is that the media, both here and abroad blew the whole thing 
out of proportion.  As in the States, we see nary a report about it 
anymore, suggesting they've gotten bored with it.  Anyway, we've got a 
general election coming up, so all the news teams are out on the 
campaign trail.  *eep, politics - veers back ontopic*

And the only way you can possibly catch it is if you're planning to 
spend your summer heaving dead cows into burial pits - which I somehow 
doubt.
