Only needed turning slightly to the rear and it would of been fine but no stick it there so you end up getting dirt all over the dipstick when you inevitably touch it on the spool block or lift arm

It’s only been 30yrs!

More walkers while trying to spray crops on the one day of the week when it will go.
I really do find it irksome that right of ways through farmland that were only ever used by the farm workers are open to all and sundry. They are essentially works paths through my biochemical factory so why was it ever considered a good idea to use them for leisure? And why does everybody consider the “countryside” to an amenity free for everybody to enjoy. You hear this kind of thing on countryfile about it being time to get your walking boots on and head off into the countryside. Well most of the countryside is private property and nobody is paying for access or for the amenity that I maintain nor the inconvenience that visitors cause so where’s the gratitude eh? Where’s the respect? There isn’t any, just a sense of entitlement that any tourist and in fact the tourist industry at large should have free usage and enjoyment of the assets we bought and maintain at our own expense. As I tapped on the steering wheel waiting for yet another sad old bobble hatter to go by I real considered the whole thing to be quite a liberty.

Well Doc, you certainly got that off your chest! But for what it’s worth I agree 100% with you.

Probably best you don’t watch this then

I’ve often wondered about a test case.
Find the house of the biggest pro rambler in the land. Declare that the path to his front door has been used by tradespeople, servants, delivery people for 200 years, then get it declared a public right of way. Because that’s what they did with paths on farmland. The “path” here is simply the access to the farmyard. It’s not an historic route from one settlement to another or anything like that. Why it should ever have been declared “public” is beyond me.

It concerns me that as rural dwellers and workers who are very much a minority group, our rights to privacy and to go about our work uninterrupted are often disregarded or ignored. As rights go, we are treated like second class citizens and our private property is seen as some kind of common resource.
Even in the village it seems its considered acceptable that our streets and lanes are blocked with tourist vehicles and visitors who come to gawp and nosey and overuse the limited facilities we as residents pay for through our council tax.
If the resources we provide and pay for are to be considered in this way, then shouldn’t we be compensated. BPS went some way to smoothing over the nuisance factor but as that goes are we supposed to put up with and fund maintenance for amenity use by the tourism out of own pockets? Doesn’t seem quite right to me. But nobody even considers our “rights” to privacy, entitlement to run a business without undue interference etc. We will end up trampled the way things are going.

we have a footpath that runs through our yard past the house the attitude of some of the people that use it beggars belief still hey ho one year the parks people came and put a finger post in the middle of the lawn!

Yeah, some liberty takers about. Googled my farm name a few weeks ago, only to find pictures of my farm buildings appear on " Geograph " or some such. Emailed them to ask to take the pictures off, only to be told they were taken from a public footpath, so fuk you. Then I find pics of the back of my house on some local history buffs blog. He would have had to wander into the back garden to take them.
Is nothing sacred........

They did the same here. Photo of the house appeared on some kind of geographical interest website. Some of my machinery also appeared on other websites. We’ve also been surveyed by a historical interest site commenting on the history of what remains of our buildings. In some ways it’s maybe done in all innocence for understandable reasons but asking beforehand would be good manners.
I suppose I’ve bigger things to worry about than footpaths as long as folk stick to them and use them responsibility. It’s just the trampling of rural dwellers rights in national media and government policy that gets my back up slightly. They should remember they are entering and using our private homes and businesses.

Just look at the you tube videos on Norwich Livestock Market to see farmers verbally intimidated and their legal rights to go about lawful business completely removed, its absolutely disgraceful

We have a cliff top / marsh boundary. The footpath along it had long gone into the sea.
The jobsworth at Natural England has nationalised a five metre strip for The Coastal Path, the path receding into my land year on year with the erosion.
No compensation whatsoever and the NON FARMING UNION washed their hands of it.

A few years ago a company wanted to build a solar park up the road from me. I went to the meeting about it and they handed out a flyer that included a print out of the location. There was a public footpath straight through the site. The company was dumbfounded when I pointed it out. The council, who would get a backhander, then stated that a dotted line with FP on it did not necessarily mean a footpath, but could be some sort of other geographical marker. My turn to be dumbfounded.
The site did not go ahead as the local grid could not take the extra power.

@DrWazzock You might want to lay down and cool off. You are a far to regular poster on here, you must have some shiit going on.
