Got a fax number going to fax it through today, but half the info was missing when we picked the sheet up from market, had to fill it in ourselves what a joke.
If market can't get it right how are we supposed too
Anyway pig is nice, a bit plain but we will feed her up

[Fowgill Farm]

Oaklands you deserve a medal for all your efforts and that marathon typing session  Still a lot of fudging going and only some errors grudgingly admitted to but some progress at least.
Fax number is now on BPEX AML site 02476692405 hope it not premium!!
I think this is going to rage on for some time until they get it right, i am dreading next April and the showing season beyond bet they haven't thought about a box to put your isolation unit number in along with your CPH at present i put my iso number in with big stars round it under the CPh box but you won't be able to do that on a computer.

Ha Ha tried the fax number and it didn't work, told me the number was not recognised!! so rang the tel no and the lady said she wanted to know where the pig was bought and did it arrive in good condition and was i happy with it! i bought a pig not a bed!!
She wanted the truck reg no and that was that

suspected there was a didgit missing from it when i looked it up, can they get nothing right? It would seem so.
Back to the drawing board i guess.

No you were right the fax was the same as the one they gave me, so not your fault

Just a thought but the govt knows where every cow, sheep, pig & goat is but they don't know where every immigrant, paedophile & sex offenders is located?   Maybe they should all be EID'd!!
 
heard on the news last night the immigration dept has lost 120,000 asylum seekers off the radar, told yer they shoulda bin tagged!!! Hope they had an AML for them!!

I have been reading this thread, thinking surely it can't be that bad!

I have waited to try the system, until I have a recipent to the movement who not only has registered on the site already himself but completed a farm to abattoir movement already, so he must exist on the system right? Wrong have now spent and hour trying various combinations of information to find him.

I am now hugely irritated as I have been unable to set up a movement for tomorrow for 7 weaners as the website is insisting he doesn't exist

so it is worse than bad       just do it on paper then on monday get ripped into them

[RaisinHall Tamworths]

We did our first one today.  First of all it involved installing the printer onto the laptop because PC not currently working  .  Got logged onto the site and started inputting all the info which I found really slow, I'm a lot quicker at writing than typing.  We had 16 pigs to go, I put all their eartag numbers on the form, on the printout it had missed some off.  It had also put in the wrong phone number, on 2 separate parts the numbers were different, right numbers but wrong order.  I know I definately put it in right because I checked then double checked.
These pigs were just going to market so not as important for individual ear numbers but what happens if it's wrong for a show  .  After first experience I'm not impressed at all, found it really slow and when it comes out wrong at the end of it then what good is it  .  Not looking forward to shows next year if we have to mess about with this the night before we go.
I think a lot of things need ironing out before April but for that to work the people in the offices need to listen to us about issues we have with this new farce they've come up  .

They should never have done a joint computer system with the Border Agency....

They'll have to turn it off.

[robert waddell]

ah if they are doing a joint sharing of the computer will that mean slap marking of imigrants andresturants having to have isolation facilitys      all backed up with movement books

[Fowgill Farm]

Read about these movements in practical pigs and the article was quite helpful, but the heading made me wonder to pee my pants laughing or choke on the cuppa tea i was having whilst reading!!

Will have to twist abit to read it, but given the current argy bargy with the BPA i think they could be done by TS for such a statement!!
