Chap who taught me to drive a tractor worked for my grandfather then dad for 40 years, used to say “Good old days, f@@k the good old days” he would have anything that made life simpler and easier, including our 1st 4wd tractor a MF 699, dad thought it might be too big. The chaps ashes are in his favourite spot on the farm.

Bg

Father said exactly the same ‘the good old days, there wasn’t any’

Re thistles:
Cut them in May, back in a day
Cut them in June, come back soon
Cut them in July, they’re sure to die.

If the oaks out before the ash, we’re in for a splash,
if the ash is out before the oak, we’re in for a soak

"There was a little man and his name was Ford,
he took a bit of wire and a little bit of board;
a little drop of diesel, an old tin can;
he stuck it all together and the damned thing ran.."

The sayings I heard were in Welsh,probably loose a bit in the translation.
Un wennol no wna wanwyn.
One swallow doesn't make a spring
Gweld yn bell, glaw yn agos.
If you can see far, rain is near.
