Bloke at the end of our lane, mid 30’s washes his car Saturday morning, and has been known too so it again Sunday afternoon! I could understand it if it was dirty but he might only go into the office 2/3 days a week! Rest of the time he’s in his home office! When I get that short of something too do. Shoot me.
His wife sounds like a right bundle of fun!!

The sad thing is that his wife and 2 kids have just left. She’s a lovely person. Very smiley, the kids are polite, grand really. Apparently he wouldn’t let them do anything in the house that might make a mess. The garden has always been immaculate and we assumed it was her who liked gardening. The reality is the kids weren’t allowed too race around outside in case they disturbed the grass. It’s proper sad that the silly bugger has wrecked his own marriage through it. I’m as scruffy as buggery and leave mess pretty much everywhere I go, but I always find time for family!

If you saw his wife you’d really wonder what he’s playing at!!
twit 🤦🏻‍♂️ There’s no hope with some people 🤦🏻‍♂️
My last car did 11 years without a wash, had a OSR plant in the drivers footwell from 2009-2017, the stem bent over and then flicked back up as my legs went passed it to get in and out, ended up shooting all the footwells to let water out from inside (no idea but all the footwells were always damp) Somehow I gave my wife a lift home in it and she stayed with me 😮🤣

People pay £13 quid for twenty fags when ten years they were probably £6.50 a pack roughly so they have doubled and people still buy them so moaning about the price of food that’s been produced to cheaply by stupid people me included for too long is the reason we HAVE TO BE PAID ALOT MORE ! Who the hell wants to work for nothing whether ur a beef farmer sheep farmer dairy farmer or just work for someone the thing is those days are gone finished ! Food is going to be dearer peiole are going to be paid more overheads will be more it’s the new normal , but the big question is WHY should everyone work for peanuts so Tarquin and family can go to the Caribbean and have two new BMWs on the drive ? No such thing as too much for products now with the way expenses have gone ! Think about it 10 years ago can of coke 40p now it’s like 90p bag of crisps 40p now they are like 90p the rest has gone up time for milk meat etc to all go up a gear als no one will do it !
But our prices are topped up with the sfp, divide the sub across the heads /tons we sell and it puts a fair bit on them/it. We shouldnt really have ever accepted sub and just demanded better prices from the start of it. We were bribed too easy.

I claim subs on under half of what I farm like many others do who rent a fair bit of ground 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Jimmywick fags 10 years ago we’re around £5.10, I packed up straights in December 2013 and I never paid more than
£5.60

Trouble is nobody forces you to though and if we wernt all so bloody keen to farm and produce food there would be less of it about and it would worth more. . If we packed up in larger numbers when prices were poor we would be better off but we keep more or take more acres to offset lower prices.
We are all to bloody keen mon😂
