I'd have a Beware of the Bull sign on it too
Beware of the wife/kids should work pretty well, too.

In the Marriage Contract I expect.....Absolutely not. All interactions with above rage demon are at your own risk. I accept no liability or responsibility for damage or injury.
Police/council’s aren’t even bothered about motox bikes, quads, 4x4s driving over field. we have 6 police covering two towns of around 35,000 each.Do your Councils or local government have “dog catchers”, or fine people for loose dogs, unchipped ( micro chip ) dogs, etc etc ?
We have a dog catcher ( every local government / local Council area in Australia does ) & we impound unrestrained dogs, that owners have to pay a fine to release. Otherwise, they are not long for this world . . .
As for dogs attacking livestock, other dogs or people - our police have the power ( & they use it ) to shoot or otherwise dispatch them
Car drivers come way higher in the list of horrible people than dog walkers , I stress some , what is it that couses someone to become an agressive impatient idiot as soon as he gets behind the wheel , they need their horns cutting off for a startTo answer the question: yes. Also met some aggressive farmers so would not tar all with the same brush.
Hope this farmer in particular recovers well.
Never yet heard of a repeat offending, sheep worrying car driver.Car drivers come way higher in the list of horrible people than dog walkers
Watched one of those cop shows last week. An arrest that took 20 minutes 7am - 7.20 am, needed a further 12 hours paper work. No wonder they ain't keen to make arrests and solve crime..........Snipe you just about summed up the police numbers here in essex? 6 police covering 2 towns of 35,000 people each? Whats happened? ive lived here for 50 odd years, back in the 1970s-80s we had local police, a police station in the small town, that was manned 24 seven, police houses, police were seen to patrol the town on foot? Now today the town, area has grown, over doubled in size, population, and still growing? Yet the local police station has closed sold off for yet more housing? No wonder crime of all types from serious to petty is out of control?
Absolutely ludicrous.Watched one of those cop shows last week. An arrest that took 20 minutes 7am - 7.20 am, needed a further 12 hours paper work. No wonder they ain't keen to make arrests and solve crime..........
A couple of my friends are in and apparently whilst officer numbers are up, there’s actually scores of officers dedicated to trawling thru historic tweets, social media etc “profiling” potential offenders, therefore fewer doing physical policing.Absolutely ludicrous.
Know some Dog Handlers well and the tales of wasted time they can tell are horrendous. Coppers "discussing" who should be the arresting Officer to enable the dog handler to go back on patrol, or someone almost at the end of a 12hr shift, not wanting anymore work to keep them back....
Sign of the times. Typing mean words online is more damaging and criminal than abducting and raping women.A couple of my friends are in and apparently whilst officer numbers are up, there’s actually scores of officers dedicated to trawling thru historic tweets, social media etc “profiling” potential offenders, therefore fewer doing physical policing.

Even worse if you are on a Tractor behind them....Getting stuck behind a bunch of middle-aged, Lycra clad pillocks taking up the whole road on their two wheeled wobblers?

I did have one "cool dude" who slip streamed behind me on his bike, when I was on the Tractor, for 3-4 miles....
He is still peddling......Did you manage to resist the temptation to touch the brakes?
Lincolnshire has fifty percent more actual coppers than it had in the 70s. An increase greater than population increase. That's actual "hat and truncheon" on the streets police.
Admittedly for every copper it has 1.4 additional staff.
Now, ask them if they know who's doing all the crime! Majority of crime = few repeat career criminals. What they need are some proper "sting" operations.
I think the issue is a total lack of prison space. We need more, like 50% more capacity.
Do the repeat offender stats show us that prison is not an effective deterrent?
Our horses are in livery with a senior magistrate and he sees the same people over & over again. He says the problem starts when first/second/third offenders keep getting fines, which are paid off at 50p a month. i.e. no deterrent at all. Eventually these characters end up with short custodial sentences, which then becomes an "incarceration hokey-cokey" as he puts it.
If prison were thoroughly unpleasant places, with zero access to drugs and mobile phones, then reoffending would reduce. It's really not rocket science.
I'm not worried about it being a deterrent or otherwise.
I wouldn't mind if prisons were a fenced in version of centre parcs, they would be separate away from society and our families which is all that really matters.
