Aye it bugs the t*ts off me .. I just wait till all the tw@ts have given up and gone home / abandoned the idea and then I go out. Also .. they take great umbridge when you blast past them with proper tyres in the 4WD

Why thank you Mr K

When calculating its worth, taking into account all the work we have done here (we bought the farm in 2006 with horses and grain still being kept in the barn), the excahnge rate between the Euro and proper currency, current market conditions both here and in the UK and the fact that land is still very cheap in France........i reckon its probably worth...............around 86 quid

And its a bugger to heat n'all....
