Yup, foot and mouth killed mtbing for me, only got back into it through cx a few recently.
My dad worked for Defra at the time, although as a fruit and veg inspector but was drafted in to manning the phones, trying to prevent farmers who had lost everything turning their shotguns on themselves.
There is an abandoned farm I ride past sometimes that still has the old warnings up about foot and mouth.
