.    I visited the local  branch of wri to see If business was as bad as I feared. 
I was told business is about 30pc down on last year, and the person I know did not know how the Insurance side of the business had been affected by the recent floods.     I can only make a guess at that, and say it has the potential to be a bigger disaster to wri than the floods to the farmers.   The vege gro franchise I do business with its business as usual the market garden supplies depot Is humming.   
I will make the guess and say Insurance companies In the rural sector are about to take a big hit wri Included.
On a lighter note I will never front up with an empty whisky glass on Marilyn's doorstep.     Do you see what she said about the soup?.   Woody I hate not arguing with you, but I was In total agreement on US. dollar how low will It go post.
