I am now thinking that you are a former government ministry (Agriculture, Foods and Fisheries) that was renamed after the BSE thing and it's remit was subtly changed to include the sale of food and the consumer end as opposed to just the production side. Subtle, but it allowed a change of the name which had been assosciated with a massive screw up that left people losing their minds and dying.

^^^ WTF?

*pets Rhi and gives her her medicine*
Lol. I know what you are saying.
M.A.F.F

Actually it stands for Matthew, Absolutely Fookin Fabulous

Farting

ooo pills...

Ministry for Agriculture Fisheries and Food in the UK was replaced by DEFRA (Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) after MAFF's image/name got thoroughly worked over with the BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy aka Mad Cow Disease) crisis in the UK because MAFF were just that incompetant. And then they screwed up Foot and Mouth as well, which was the cherry on the icing on the cake.

The justification for the renaming was that MAFF did not deal with the consumer side of food, whilst DEFRA would. And adding this subtle change meant a whole new name and rebranding exercise.

Technically, MAFF merged with part of DETR (Department of Environment, Transport and Regions), leaving DEFRA and DoT (Department of Transport).

Does it make more sense now?

This is UK government from many years ago. Many many years ago. (Well 2001, so many moons ago in politics terms)

I do believe I'm hijacking the thread. With all my talk of ministries and stuff.

*cuddles Matthew*

*gives you broken animal baloons*

I would just like to point out that i was in no way responsible for mad cow disease!
I am neither mad or a cow!!

AND IM NOT MAFF EITHER!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
