I can remember an old neighbour glatting up a hedge with trouse (beat that)
I can remember grandad filling glatts with browse cut off with the hedge bill, he would go at it like a madman. Usually in poorly fenced fields he wanted to graze with ewes and lambs. Breakfast , bait, dinner and tea here. Supper and lunch are for posh folk
