When do you need to put wellie boots in a bag?

I generally step out of them when I go into house at night. Then into them again in morning when back to work.
I work out of my pick up when I’m fencing and don’t live on the farm so the wellies always need to be either on my feet or in the truck. I try to keep the inside of the truck as clean as I can, which isn’t easy, as it’s also my family car.

Our fuel suppliers today told us they were now giving away freebies , a 10L can of adblue ... how feckin boring is that ? If you are going to give a freebie away make it something nice . We spend thousands a year on fuel and get offered a can of adblue worth £2.70 . 🤬

I heard once that a big Devon Arable operator ( several thousand acres) bought 30 brand new MF tractors in the mid 60's and the dealer threw in one for free.

(Mind you, they would have got their money back quite quickly relining the dodgy brakes on the MF 65's)
There was a time (in the 80's??) when you got a free Mini car when you bought a new MF combine.....

....mind you, you probably needed one for all the trips to P&B for the parts to fix the breakdowns :facepalm:
