Highly regarded im not so sure about that, half accept that produce their food and think we work much harder then we do and the half think we are wan kers.
How the public see farmers?
- Thread starter Henros

From experience the Public think of farmers as alan Turner types, riding around in a range rover, goes shooting, generally fat and stuck up his own arse.
Farmers wives are seen as pinny wearing flour faced with an aroma of bread in the aga.
I know this to be true as this is what I'm told when they meet me and they're surprised to find I'm more akin to wurzle gummage.

I have a weakness for cars but driving around 40 k miles a year I need someone that s nice to drive and I feel safe in
But that's your choice you don't make a choice on what someone may think

So image is everything,earned on the backs of suppliers.
One more reason for getting rid of subs.
Regularly seen on FB.......
" Bloody farmers leaving mud on the road ". Cringe #1.
" Don't grumble, they're producing the food you eat ". Cringe #2.
" But the buggers get subsidies don't they ". Cringe #3.
Well, I don't think much of the general public, either. Fat, tattooed , feckless, lazy barstewards.
Touche...

My gilet cost me £60 in a clearance sale. I think they are around £85 now.
Other cheaper gilets with better credibility are available
Edit: £140 now!

Thought a gilet was similar to Wilkinson sword, then realised it was a body warmer/jerkin or a posh waist coat. When did the French version come into use?

A gilet is something I get mixed up with a neglige.... they sound the same.
I wondered why I got strange looks at sheep sales... it has all become very clear
