Those grenades were probably buried by someone from that old sitcom Dad's Army. John Le Mesurier might've done it to prevent futile d**k measuring between Cap't Mannering and the ARP guy at the time..
Some beef farmers could grow crops. Many sheep farmers couldn't. Ps. Never ploughed up a bomb! Did find 2 Home Guard hand grenades though under some concrete!
McBoatFace, no temper here feller, just don't like being called thick due to my chosen profession.
I of course don't represent all in the industry but similarly, Joe Public seems to make massive generalisations of the industry as a whole based a little information. Big up to the architects!
Hey, you can bash my profession of Architectural design anytime. We have our flaws. Minor corruption, poor dissemination of materials specification, bad design, poor inter-profession communication skills; occasional stuck up attitudes. They need pointing out to make us better at our jobs. Got to take it on the chin if they're right or I'll never learn.
Well, it's not an apology, but I'll take it. Agreed this shouldn't be the forum for farmer (or any other profession) bashing. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and all that.
Uff. Tempers got high for no reason on a Saturday morning, is the football back on?
Dear Nacnud42, have I been following you about day to day and do you represent all the minds within the agricultural industry?
We aren't enemies. I'm taking it from your personification and attachment to the word re-education that you are a farmer. If you wish to believe I'm out to get you then that's your issue. You cannot deny that the agricultural industry has to lead in this, let's face it, revolution. Brexit has screwed exports due to paperwork and somehow your industry must earn money.
So persuade government to subsidise rewilding the countryside. Not so much lamb and beef farming as there is currently over-supply. that requires re-education.
Does every beef farmer know what other crops might grow on their soil? Do they know if there are unexploded bombs in their fields when they plough it for the first time in generations? It's not patronising to say farmers need re-educating we all do. The sooner we grasp that concept without tedious delay the better.
Nac
You are so right I have no knowledge of you and don't particularly want any.
I was feeling a bit bored and just posted for a laugh as the conversation on the last few comments was nothing to do with ITM
It certainly got your attention
Now can we post about ITM
Says the abusive one phuckerty! You have no idea of my education, nor of course that we've built 3 lakes on the farm, leave 3m field margins (6m next to a water course) and have planted 1000's of trees! You're not thick btw, just have limited knowledge!

You don't need re-educating your just as thick as two short planks
Apparently, I need re-educating!
Is anyone in the rewilding of road verges going to train our fury friends in the green cross code?
Did a drystone walling course with the Otley branch.

Oo almost forgot, I shop at these wildflower sites when I get the urge to spread...nah I won't say that hackneyed line.
They also supply native shrubbery..'A shrubbery?', " Yes! One that looks nice with a picket fence round the side", 'If you don't we will continue to say NI..!'

Thank you Bilbo for highlighting this originally insane decision. Apart from ITM etc I am an investor in a new Calvados brand where we are a) already carbon positive b) give E0.50 per bottle to bee charities and c) labels made from recycled apple pulp!
The biggest low cost opportunity to improve the life of wild animals in the UK is the wilding of verges and public spaces. Just one example https://rewildingsussex.org/2020/07/31/wilding-parks-verges-part-2-flower-up-managing-road-verges-for-wildlife/
UK gov, one of the first post Brexit decisions was to allow insect killing chemicals that are banned in Europe and directly affect bees, they then changed their mind. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-55566438
I haven't read the or seen the link before writing this reply because I don't want to be too emotional or angry.
Scientists around the world have noticed a mass extinction event taking place as we speak. 70% of UK wildlife is in decline and farmers need to be part of the solution. Pesticides, poisoning and shooting everything around you is directly contributing to our own extinction in my view. Two examples: neo-nicotinoids poison the bees and the birds that eat them giving people cancer on the way. Super glyphosates weed killers leach into rivers and streams which unintendedly kills native plant-life and disorientates insects into starvation and exposure.
Farmers need to re-educated especially now Brexit has debilitated their ability to export meat into the EU. The same with fisherman to some degree.
Just seen this on the BBC.... what farmers think of animals... Disgusting.

They've only just been reintroduced whats wrong with people.
Typical, 'Beavers might eat my house', and they blow them away. Criminal. Just like what hey did with poisoning birds of prey, just in case they steal a lamb. Paranoid lunatics..
