Thursday November 13, 2003
A bacterial disease which has potentially "catastrophic" effects on potato crops has been discovered in the UK for the first time, it emerged today.
The bacterium c lavibacter michiganensis sepedonicus - which causes ring rot - was found in a sample of potatoes produced at a farm in mid-Wales from Dutch seed.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) says that annual losses from ring rot in the US have been as high as 50%, and the Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) has warned that spread of the disease could spark a "catastrophe" in the UK potato industry.

Never forget!:
The blight appeared in Ireland in 1845. The blight was the fungus Phytophthora infestans which destroyed potato plants and was the principal cause of what came to be known as the Irish Potato Famine. The blight wiped out the potato crop in 1845, 1846 and again in 1848. People were left with nothing to eat and no way to make money to support themselves. Many wandered the countryside, begging for food or work. Others ate grass and weeds to survive. Those who could afford to, left the country in search of a better life.

So last night Sidney really wanted to meet Robyn so we stood in line and waited as people were having things signed and whatnot, and then it was our turn and I said, "We don't having anything for signing, she only wanted to meet you" so he introduced himself and then they chatted for a few minutes about Vancouver. It was really cute.
