Straffo - the 'JCB' part was a dry humoured joke going around when the BSE thing first broke over here.

A JCB is a digger or earth-mover.

Another difference what you call dry humour we call it cold humour

I agree Straffo - it's so dry, it's cold.

I just think the extent of BSE wasn't reported as much on the continent. I think there are no winners in this, just losers.

from what i heard/read about BSE, people who die from it, have had it in their systems for _years_ ; how do they know he picked it up in Holland ?

They were from Holland.. went back and forth for years. I don't suppose they restricted their travel in Europe to Holland though.
