HOW FILTHY IS YOUR CAR?

Classichay · Jan 21, 2021

Dear BBC, go away. You're just looking for ways to waste our tv licence money. I need my garden hedge cutting though if your offering pointless services?

Since you sacked the only decent three presenters you had, i suggest you go ask David Dickinsons deceased populous? see if they have anything you wish them to spend peoples tv licence fees on pointlessly. Failing that just stick an advert on countryfile that will attract a Chelsea tractor driver who's dog may have got the boot muddy. You should be investing in helping people struggling with covid not offering to clean a car.... your priorities are as straight as ever...

Sincerely a tv license payer who's sick of your stupidity as lets face it there's nothing worth while interesting left to watch on your channels.

Long live amazon prime!
And sack that pretentious tool packham.

My car needs a wash, but I'm probably not eligible because I don't pay the licence fee.

Well, I’m not sure what the OP’s opinion of farmers was before they started this thread but I very much doubt this has improved it.

The filthiest vehicle I’ve ever seen belonged to a late customer of mine.

I was rained off on a job 20 miles from home and he asked me how I was getting home. He said I could borrow his pick up as long as I was back with it next day. It was parked in his garage, just the back poking out with a dented rear tailgate, a two year old L200.

I gathered my stuff together, he gave me the keys and went into the house. As I squeezed down the side to get in I got covered in muck and shite but made it to the passenger door to put my stuff on the passenger seat. The door wouldn’t open, it was damaged, stoved right in and creased beyond use. So I squeezed round the front to get to the drivers side. More filth and damage with string tying the bonnet down.

Happily, the drivers door opened. It was then I considered walking home. The stench that met me could of knocked me over had it not been for the wall holding me up. The inside was a sight I will never forget. Every surface, lever, knob and seat had been shredded with dog teeth. The steering wheel was chewed down to the core in places and the handbrake was barely usable. There were half chewed dog treats lay around and empty gun cartridges aplenty. A touch of luxury, there was a feed bag on the drivers seat. I didn’t like to look at what it may be covering.

It started first time and I went up the drive. Honestly, the stench was making my stomach churn. I had all the windows open and drove home like that all the way, despite the driving rain. The blood streaked all across the dashboard had me worried, but it seemed innocent when I noticed the back legs of a rabbit poking out from under the passenger seat. I thought that was maybe the cause of the stench, so pulled over.

I used a handy Tesco carrier bag as a glove and grabbed the legs. What greeted me I will never forget. Most of the rabbit came out leaving assorted bits and hundreds of maggots. It was lucky to be mostly laid on another feed bag and I managed to roll that up and chuck that out too.

It was an experience I will never forget. On the very odd occasion I borrow a vehicle I make a point of filling it with fuel. I decided I would do that next morning in the dark rather than be seen in public when it was busy. My wife exclaimed when I got home about the state of it. It was truly a horrendous sight, not a straight panel on it and absolutely filthy, encrusted in cow shite and mud. There was no way it would pass its first MOT. There was a fresh clutch of dog eggs laid in the load bed along with more filth and an antler.

My Dad used to say “A bad ride is better than a good walk”, but that day had me wondering. And I still had to make the return journey......

It was half full of fuel. I decided that was enough and knock him £30 off his invoice instead.

I used a mates new 9 stink in there was horrendous. Was gaging it was clean but OMG the smell no idea where it was coming from

Thanks Jack for assuming that the dirtiest vehicle in the country would be owned by a farmer. That's not pursuing a stereotypical image of a farmer at all, I suppose that in your vastly superior woke state you compare us all in your minds eye to Compo in last of the summer wine or some other grubby village idiot. Frankly I am offended by your presumption and I think it demonstrates how out of touch the program makers are in the BBC are with modern agriculture and modern farmers.
And for what its worth the most disgustingly dirty vehicle I have ever witnessed both inside and out was owned and driven by a Teacher.

Yep the worst iv seen is an accountants car Ford focus with mouldy McDonald's wrappers level with the bottom of the passenger window ramped down to the handbreak, couldn't see the passenger seat. That was revolting.
My navara is clean, I worked fecking hard to buy it so I want to look after it.
Oh and on the subject of the BBC , sack that rsole Packham then well talk.

An incontinent lamb on its way to the vets found a use for the built in cup holders in the back of OH's Jimny, liquid in the left, solids in the right. I suppose it was just trying to be helpful.

As for the kiss in the valediction, I suppose that's mandatory at the BBC now.

Totally agree with this, we tend to talk about others being "snowflakes" and needing to toughen up. The reaction to what is a non-offensive approach is just weird. Being offended by this is exactly the same reaction of people labelling farmers due to seeing a video on youtube of animal abuse on a single farm

Now BBC have contacted the TFF , perhaps they will mention TFF to the Countryfile Production team and also to Chris Packham, as the “Best Source” in the Uk for learning about farming and rural issues from those who live , work and make there living from rural business.
What do you think @Clive and @Chris F

We have spoken to a number of people there a number of times. I think TFF will be mentioned this week though, as it happens.

We had only this sort of conversation last time we were in the pub, things we talk about on a normal eve would probably have us thrown out of any London hostilery or any city come to think of it. Our views are just simply not PC anymore, is it an age thing? A country thing? or maybe we're just stuck in our old ways and are a grumpy miserable bunch.
The rest of the world seems to have gone mad

Yes; the near-fascistic and perma-'offended' woke tw a ts in the BBC are most definitely not right.

Dear BBC

Please cancel the license fee and encrypt your television channels/websites so I can't watch them any longer. I would prefer to spend the money formerly used on your licence fee to pay Mr Amazon and Mr Google for their quality content instead.

Sincerely

A dissatisfied customer.
