People that demand their cup of tea be made in an odd way. Just have it like everyone else in the world, rather than 'bag in for 20 seconds then a splash of milk'.
If you want weird tea, make it your f**king self.

Folk that move out from town/city, buy the big old house, convert it into 3 or 4 tiny flats and proceed to live in the middle of nowhere yet claustrophobically close to their neighbours.
Just don't understand the mentality.

Money, of course.
I'm no fan of these 'barn conversion estates' that have cropped up everywhere. Hundreds of years or heritage bleached out of every stone-built farm and replaced with clinically clean sandblasted walls, Audis, WiFi and unavoidable neighbourly animosity (they all think they're exclusive and special - if you're all special... nobody is).

And the "rustic" small farms of 30 years ago, milking a few cows, few cattle, few sheep are all "lifestyle" small holdings now, with posh post and rail, posh gates, posh horsebox , 2 horses/ llamas / 6 hens / 2 geese ,refurbished farmhouse, log burning stove, out buildings turned into holiday cottages, solar panels on roof, obligatory small polytunnel........
And some of them can’t pay there bills!
The old family that with an outside big never missed payment

Understand the motivation, but being an antisocial type I'd sooner live a simple life with a rodent hotel opposite the back door and no neighbours within miles than an affluent life surrounded by shiny shirts, good haircuts and soft roaders.
3 types of incomers: Ghosts, empire builders and the overly friendly.
Ghosts- maybe introduced themselves when first arrived but sightings are rare.
Empire builders- the type who will uncover ancient deeds to the corner of a field, control a right of access with Stalinist vigour and whose 5 page emails on road conditions aren't read.
Overly friendly- fraught combine repair in peak season interrupted by "yoohoo, thought you guys might like a cup of tea"........

Work colleagues throwing a wobbler for the most stupid reason

Been there, put up with that.
But they could have very different real (to them) reasons for throwing the toys out of the pram, quite possibly not work related. Sometimes you need to look a little bit further. Still a pain in the arse and I don't think that it is national "bring your problems to work " day.

One more request of "can we come and see the lambs" and I won't be responsible for my actions. We have been juggling them round sheds, putting up temporary pens in sheds, putting shelters in the fields, digging out the lane for the third time, struggling with flat batteries and frozen water. And then some visitor is bound to say that one looks a bit poorly or something. Well they are lambs. Units of meat on legs that have basic needs of some shelter and milk. Not pets, not human like, not needing or wanting to be cuddled or stroked. They are surviving best they can as we are but they will be slaughtered at 4 months old. I realise public perception is about a million miles away from the world I live in. My world worrying about mastitis or lameness and making sure they get food and water. Their world of cuddly fluffy lambs. FFS.

Bleeding heart liberals who want me to allow inner city unemployed to experience a day on a farm. They are deprived apparently and seriously disadvantaged, that's apart from having the opportunity of a free education, free healthcare, free housing and more benefits than my monthly wage. Well er no, get off your sorry asses, get trained or pay attention in class/college rather than pissing about all the time and make your own way in life like everybody else has to do. Don't expect to come here and mess about on a tractor for a day. That ain't farming. Grafting your way up through college, work or an apprenticeship, having made the most of your education, is.

Bleeding heart liberals who blame multinationals like McDonalds and growers like myself even for growing sugar beet for the poor diet and health problems of some sections of society.
Well nobody forces anybody to eat at macdonalds or consume too much sugar. It's a free choice and if you are daft enough to make the wrong choice most likely because you are too lazy to buy cheap wholesome ingredients and cook yourself a healthy meal, well how exactly is that my fault or macdonalds fault?

My old ford ranger pulled this artic 2 miles up a steep hill on a forest road covered in black ice, lorry couldn't move just kept sliding towards the ditch with a Ponsse harvester + 2 tanks and site safe on the back, driver recons it was grossing over 50 tons, so they're not really clowns for trying, + your really only taking the strain and the lorry is doing it's own job.Watching the news.....I see they're out again. Super heroes in mark 1 discos attempting to pull 44 T artics.
