public good, is as seen, by the eyes of the beholder.


plenty of good opticians about, a lot of the public need them, to replace the rose tinted glasses they wear now.

The gen public know jackshit about farming, many still believe we wear smocks, suck a straw, and should touch our foreheads to acknowledge them.

A view confirmed by many of the food adverts on telly. A friend was paid good money, to drive a vintage tractor, with a trailer full of churns, through a high street, an advert for cheese.

@delilah l agree with most things you say, but you are ahead of the times, consumers, retailers and guv's, need to learn a lesson, the hard way, before anything will change.

When it eventually does, hire yourself out as a 'consultant' and draw some decent money out of the idiots, you deserve it.

My 91 year old mother can see a neighbour's 11 acres of 'bird seed mix', about half a mile across the valley, from her front room window.

Her eyesight is pretty good (she's still driving).

"I see **** is growing a field of little Christmas trees", she said

Sadly, it's a field of buck thistles 🤬

Must have been in the scheme for 5 or 6 years, been drilled twice and I've never seen anything other than thistles in that time.

It's cost a load of public money but where's the public good?

Can't blame the neighbour, he's got the tickets off the seed bags, nobody at Defra cares.
The whole system is shite.
