In an effort to filter out the increasing number of nuts who want to own a 
working pointer, I followed the lead of a Canadian friend and put a "feed 
back form" on my web page. It does help eliminate some of the romantics and 
wannabes.

I was quite amused at the gall of one applicant who has declared that he is 
a livestock farmer with sheep and cattle and has his own land plus his 
neighbour's farms to work the dog on.

I just did a check on his post code with StreetMap. Must be one hell of a 
farmer to farm right in the middle of Newcastle-upon-Tyne!<g>
