In todays "Sunday Times " Jeremy writes the following in his column without mentioning Kaleb but it reads like this :
I've got a mate round where I live who pretty much left school at 13. He bought a few chickens and sold the eggs door to door in his village. Then he got some pigs and then a tractor and a bit of land,and now ten years later ,he's on TV and really going places. That makes me delirious with joy. It's as if Mrs.Thatcher is back.
The theme of the piece is how the average person dislikes successful people and they hate their achivements.

You last paragraph is pretty spot on.why can’t people be pleased for people who have success.I often get the pee taken for having new stuff from what I’ve earned through my digger business.people never realise the sleepless nights,the worry and working 7 days a week at times along with all the paper work and getting money out of bad payers

Jealousy of success is a very British thing, sad really.

Having visited the British Motor Museum yesterday, we decided to have a run down to JC's farmshop. The winding queue of customers outside was absolutely huge, although they have extended the parking area into the field the shop behind so at least there is no traffic backed up on the road anymore.
I think he needs to expand the shop to fully cash in.

No relation actually. Mind you, Cooper is a very common name.

Yeah "Mrs. Merton" could get away with anything because she was behind that mask, like "Alan Partridge"* had Caroline Aherne as herself come out with that line I am sure Debbie might have been a bit taken aback. (* I actually couldn't stand Alan Partridge until I found out that it was just a character played by Steve Coogan who is of course one hell of a good actor)Classic
I see Mr Clarkson is going “balls out” for series 2 …
Not only has he bought in steers to replace (?) “The Sheeps” but has also invested in a local brewery so is going to grow spring barley - despite Cheerful Charlie telling him that SB doesn’t suit his Cotswolds brash.
Lager is to be sold as “Hawkstone” btw

The first thing I thought when he put that cultivator on That huge Lambo is "He needs something 3 times as wide as that , that's barely wide enough to take the wheelings out!" no wonder they were working all day and all night (Well they said they were) to get the job done.

Made me smile that he “discovered” what everyone else has known for ages…
“Jeremy’s Hawkstone Lager came about after he found the ‘hard and unforgiving’ Cotswold Brash soil on his farm yielded unusually high quality malting barley which is perfect for brewing.”
Not that anyone ever called Cotswold Brash hard or unforgiving!

My wife is Chinese, she speaks fluent Mandarin plus another dialect that is peculiar to the part of China she hails from and near enough perfect English but Cantonese Chinese she finds almost unintelligible as Its a totally different language (Apparently).I have employed a lot of Eastern Europeans to pick fruit and know exactly what you mean.
The "translator" often turned to me and said I don't know what he is saying in my own language never mind yours. We usually managed somehow.
One of our neighbours bought a Howard Bigbaler the same year we bought ours (1975) his then farm manager didn't even want it but of course the boss went over his head and ordered one ( Well he was the boss after all wasn't he? ) His manager said to us "What's the point having one of those damn things, we can get as many Italian's as we want to come and help at harvest, they can't speak bloody English but boy they can chuck bloody bales about!"

Unless you had it behind anything pivot steer. Backing a " 4 wheel dray" with a Matbro pivot steer forklift was a doddle.
