All Scottish? The ''crofters'' that have represented the western isles and highlands have been retired barristers etc from doon the road and sober! :LOL:

I hope you all don't think we keep one cow/acre and feed them up to their brisket in mud.
It makes me laugh about the "hard life" they all try to portray as they basically live out their retirement dream pottering about in the mud.

Aye, but don't get me wrong, the boy that had the accident I have nothing but respect for. I broke my thumb playing rugby back in 2002 and never had it seen by anyone and the pain in the cold winters is brutal so imagine the pain he'll be in. I'm not having a dig at these people personally, I just think crofters could be represented more accurately. I wouldn't like Michael Gove watching that and wondering why the hell they give us the LFASS :LOL:

To be fair there is nothing about that place that couldn’t accurately be described as being less favoured. Hard country to say the least!
 
Another fine advert for not keeping Limmy cattle again this evening, life is too short for them it’s beyond me why anyone bothers with them, when I rule the world they are all going back to where they belong , France 🇫🇷 they deserve them more than we do !!
What’s happened?
