It’s called an idiocracy, there’s a film about by Mike judge. Made in the 90’s and already quite prophetic.

Driver of big tractor drawing biggest slurry spreader travelling along ~ mobile phone in one hand, gesticulating wildly with the other, vehicle drifting over the road, over the edges of the road, onto verges. Absolutely no way he was prepared for the junction ahead of him, or had seen me coming up the road to that junction with sheep behind. He carried on driving with his knees (???) without a single glance our way. Dangerous, arrogant b'stard.
Thank goodness the flock is reasonably well trained to follow, and will stop!

Hope you find out who he is and educate him folk lake that give us all a bad name
I was following a multi deck sheep carrier on a low loader this morning. No signs of the driver doing anything wrong but if the guy pushing his elderly wife in a wheelchair hadn’t pushed both of them into the ditch they both would have ended up flat as a pancake. couldn’t have been more than a foot away from them as they passed but he didn’t let off at all

Trouble is, everybody knows where his parents access most solar power when he's smarming around them. Spoilt brat!

My Dad was a wheelchair user. He'd be too scared to exercise his legal rights to use the Queen's Highway these days, precisely because of oversized machinery on unclassified roads.
I was following a Fastrac towing a lowloader along a main road last night, he had an orange flashy thing across the top of his cab plus another on the back of the trailer, on top of this he also had his rear worklights on, luckily the trailer ramps obscured one or the other most of the time but it made it pretty impossible to see past him to overtake.

Just moved house and submitted final meter readings to shell energy to close the account, 12 weeks to get a refund and they send it as a cheque ffs.

Just had similar with SSE. I moved into a new house and submitted opening readings on the date that I took possession. SSE threatened to send in bailiffs if I don't pay their wildly overstated estimate of the last owners consumption since the meter was read over a year ago. How is it cheaper for them to employ bailiffs than a meter reader?

My hilux was stolen in the middle of the night, thief avoided all cameras around the farm bar the one watching the pickup, but he was hooded and masked up so it made no difference. From when he appeared to the pickup driving down the lane 25 seconds.

barstewards. Makes my pi$$ poor afternoon efforts seem little to worry about.
Did a load of pH samples, not one tonne of lime required.
Tried to repair a slight leak in the exhaust gasket of the Big A, faffed about for two hours achieved bugger all except a skinned thumb and a twisted knee.
Went to feed the sheep and fell over a tree root twisting the newly twisted knee again.
Thought to myself there’s an hour of light left, just time to trim some branches back for a little fencing job tomorrow.
Couldn’t find the chain oil for the saw. Looked up and down and then found it…. Right next to the saw. I was looking for a silver can, the new one is black.
Topped the saw up, had a phone call, went back to the saw and carried it through the workshop, across the shed, through the entry past mums annexe and out into the yard, put it down to shut the door, only to find I hadn’t put the oil filler cap on and had left a trail of oil 25 yards long.
Ever tried mopping up chain oil? Its like chuffing treacle. Mopped it up as best I could, sprayed brake cleaner on it and scubbed it, no good.
Thought I would get the oxy/ acetylene set and burn it off, which worked but will leave a mark. Nozzle blocked up. Found the cleaning tools, that whole set fell to pieces, put that back together cleaned it up, spent another couple of minutes burning oil off mums path, gas ran out with the job half done.
By now it’s dark and I thought sod it I’m going in.
Luckily mum wasn’t annoyed. That’s the only thing that’s gone right all afternoon.

Pikey Hare coursers feel it necessary to break down a gate to give themselves a 2nd way out of a 60 acre field that we've left the other gate open to avoid being 'confrontational'.
Out with the lumps of concrete off the rubble pile.
@Brisel must be making progress if the pikelets are heading down to me.

Weve had them round here gates are open yet they still ram the hedge, napalm is too good for them.Pikey Hare coursers feel it necessary to break down a gate to give themselves a 2nd way out of a 60 acre field that we've left the other gate open to avoid being 'confrontational'.

I was soil sampling on a farm a few weeks ago where hare coursers had been swerving around the fields. The blackgrass in the wheel marks was many times worse than elsewhere.
I’m not going to tempt fate by saying we’ve persuaded them to move on, but one bonus of establishing osr with a subsoiler is that it makes the surface rough enough that they must spill their beer as they hoon across it…Pikey Hare coursers feel it necessary to break down a gate to give themselves a 2nd way out of a 60 acre field that we've left the other gate open to avoid being 'confrontational'.
