[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6521756, member: 54866"] I have never had a problem with whatever folk choose to buy, rent run or whatever and have said it all along. You all work so hard in my book that if you want a Fendt, JCB, Dyson hoover or (God forbid) a Land Rover Defender you get on and have it and worry about paying for it second. I know Clive runs a bit of new-fangled kit but he is hardly alone in that respect and you never hear Clive moaning how unfair life is- and he rents a lot of his ground. The only genuine farming complaint I think Clive has historically made (going by my pretty ropey memory mind you) was a complaint that some staff were nearly impossible to motivate because they'd worked enough hours that month to cover the mortgage so they thought "fudge it", and a general complaint about a lack of potential new recruits more recently. He is not a sole example in this respect either. There are a good number of folk who make specific negative/complainy comments that are normally of three general kinds only: 'well fudge me this daft fudging thing happened today and it pished me off' or: 'can you believe the stupidest fudging thing I did today?' and then very occasionally: 'that fudging farm assurance inspector (or similar) came today and told me X and you fudging believe it?'. Certain characters, however, go on and on and on a bit like a toothache and you start to wonder if they have ever had any good luck since they first their lost their lunch money aged 7 in 1971 and kicked a football through Granddad's greenhouse right before a visit to the dentist.
