So what's the business with the 'Long acre' thing, you say?
Well, back in the 'Old days', before Facebook, mobile phones, soy latte's and ...sugar?

The children would mind the cow, it was before the car, so there was no danger of being hit by a 2 tonne truck
The cow gave the milk, (willingly i'm told) the people made butter and hey presto, you could trade the butter for something you needed, that you couldn't make.

So, i got beaten to thelongacre.com, so thelongacre.net it is!
