Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

Discovered Becky Giles a few weeks ago after she did a video with Trucker Tim.
Fair play she puts a shift in and is a hell of a HGV driver.
I stumbled onto her channel too, find her very interesting, she’s definitely a grafter.
stopped watching trucker Tim as find his videos childish, and the editing jumping all over the place gives me a migraine

Anyone who watches Becky and Gemma think they should or will do anything to make things easier for lorry’s accessing their yards??
Whilst I agree with what your saying, some of it has a bit of poetic licence. The one where Becky is in the rigid and the mixer wagon is in the way is a common occurance on that farm as thats where the molases tank is, plus its a place where only certain people drive certain machines. There's plenty of room there as we go there regularly with walking floors delivering. She would have very easily got their decker turned around as it goes around in a big circle.

I know what you mean, but some places are quite tight for turning only for the sake of moving some scrap/crap out of way and cut a branch or two down

I can't believe the pettiness of the woman tbh.

Using her 'ass-ets' as a thumbnail was clearly intentional so how can she have a problem with it when it was pointed out. It wasn't done in a negative or derogatory way and instead of reporting it on his forum or addressing this thread she takes it up on another social platform.

Very strange behavior!

Anytime I see her on Ollyblogs channel she's usually draping herself over some farm machinery, presumably for the benefit of the ‘jealous bitter little men’.

Pay that much for them, you'd want to show them off.

Been a very interesting read, always enjoy a good shitstorm lol. I don't watch the sheep game much and same with Tom pemberton now, their presenting style is OTT with clickbaity video titles and such, obviously geared towards kids. They do make some good content now and then which I have watched and wish them all the best.

As for Olly, Im not so fond on his videos particularly, seems a bit like buggering about on farming simulator in real life, but all credit to him for taking the absolute slagging he's getting in here and moving on, I know he will be reading it.

This Charlotte woman I have never and probably will never watch her content. Seems to be the type of woman you seem to increasingly see here and there who will blatantly show themselves off for their own benefit then blame you for noticing if you ever were to say something. Also an obsession with spreading disinformation about the nob size of every man who disagrees with them. Yet if you were to make a comment on them you'd be "bodyshaming, mysogenist, sexist pig, yada, ya". She's an all round fruitloop.

But yes, thanks to folk on the forum I watch a good amount of George Saunders, dove farms and lord muck now, highly entertaining and interesting. Surprisingly, I enjoy it when muck goes off on a rant, but it's done in a thought out and amusing way. Very knowledgeable lads who should have a much, much larger following even if Saunders is over 100k now I think, but that's small fry nowadays I suppose. I think a lot of lads need to come off the grassmen and onto those 3. Don't get me wrong, I had ALL the Grassmen DVDs, but it's like 2 sides of a coin.

Can't very well knock down 16th listed buildings, but yes, implements and vehicles parked all over the place to make an obstacle course is inexcusable.

Not sure if I have garage envy, bike rack envy, checkerplate envy or just general envy! Looking good Clive! I must pop in for a coffee next time I’m passing mate
