[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6521636, member: 2119"] What also never fails to amaze me is I sometimes go to "less favoured areas" or hill farms as I call them, and see a brand new Fendt loader tractor in the yard. Well that's the sort of kit we could only dream of here. I sometimes wonder if some farmers really know what tightening your belt really means. We lost our quad bike to thieves a few years ago and its pointless replacing it as it would just get nicked again as there is no real law and order here that means anything other than providing a good living and pensions for our "overworked" police force. We round our sheep up with a 20 year old Renault Clio that is also my brother's main mode of transport. I am not complaining. The margins are tight. We don't expect a foreign holiday, a Range Rover or a new car every few years. We appreciate the lifestyle as it is and its our choice to live this way. We don't want or expect any extra help as its our choice. We don't expect to pay ourselves a certain wage, we just get whatever is left as profit and are grateful for it. That's how it is. Its either that or get a job in town like every other fekker in the area has to. [/QUOTE]
