Gosh is it 10 years since BSE? I remember working at Bentley wood farm at teh time. We had a day where we sold no beef products at all. Then everyone came in and oredered steaks to show that we weren't scared of british beef!
I reckon it will be a dead duck. The world must have been through stuff liek this thousands of times over the last couple of million years and we are still here thanks.
