This looks worrying, doesn't Taz work near Egham. Foot in mouth time again
(Following taken from bbc.co.uk)
Suspected case of foot-and-mouth The last outbreak occurred in August
A suspected case of foot-and-mouth disease has been discovered 30 miles away from the last outbreak in Surrey. The government has set up a 10km (6.2 mile) exclusion zone around the affected site near Egham and a pre-emptive slaughter has been ordered.

Fcks sake! Half of Surrey old bill out this evening in Egham manning the cordon (never knew foot & mouth made livestock quite that dangerous!). The cordon also just so happened to include the quickest bastard route from my office to the station, which meant a hike pretty much round Egham! Grrrr!
So no pre-match pint before the england game. And all because of some poorly cows.....

Same this morning as well!!
Fourtunately, I managed to locate the secret path under the big road (M25) and it took 10 mins off the walk.
Might walk down at lunchtime and have a rant at one of the many news crews milling about down there..... ;D

Headline: "Foot and Mouth hits human population" Copy: "Dan, a normally mild-mannered computer operative, became a wild beast after being infected by a sick cow on his way under the M25. His interview to the BBC saw him foaming at the mouth and an immediate cordon placed around him."
