people that dont respect other peoples property, first the hunt when they are told no you can't come across the farm what isn't winter corn is in-lamb ewes and its too wet , you can go through the woods but not the farmed land they ride across the winter wheat and the hounds through the in lamb ewes 4x4s across the stubble field up to their axles when the hunts man is approached by my son on the track around the field the followers started to ride past in the winter barley:banghead::mad::mad:what angers me and saddens me is i am a country man and enjoy country sports and they leave me no option but to ban the bloody lot of them :(
That is really not on in this day and age. Some hunts really are their own worst enemies:banghead::mad:

People who ask to temporarily park a tractor/caravan/horse box in the stack yard as a favour then never ever move it again. Last time I get taken in by that one. Have a row of them now.

People who drive into the yard past the house, particularly at lunchtime and then you have to leg it round there to find them in case it's somebody nicking stuff. All visitors should report to the office first.

People who stop at the first pump at the petrol station so that nobody can get to the vacant one in front of them. WTF? Think of others for once will you. Usually they have to go into the shop to pay as well and do their weekly shop with a basket while they in there.

People who won't let you in where two lanes merge into one. Two lanes turning right in Lincoln today merge into one. Nobody lets me in so I keep going until 3 cars are wedged millimetres apart side by side on a two lane road. Now what are they going to do, plonkers? What a crisis, you will be one vehicle back in the queue at the next roundabout.

I seem to collect boats. And boat engines. And boat trailers..... where these folk find the money to buy this shite, and never use it is beyond me.

This weather is tiresome.
Not a great believer in using power tools in the rain...so...carry tin sheet across the yard, measure and mark it, lug it back across the yard, into another shed, cut it, lug it back across the yard, oh dear, not cut enough off, lug it back across the yard.....

Suppose I should either clear out the junk to make room to work in the project shed, or wait for a dry day. But it could be 20 years before we get a dry day.:(
