Have a bitch Tractors

[Lee337]

No, not the american motorcycles but real tractors going up and down the road outside my house.

Living in a small hamlet where there are 3 farms just down the road and a further 5 or 6 within a mile, there's a lot of farm machinery on the roads around here.

Every so often the local Farcebook group kick off, they're having a moan at the moment & vilify anyone who dares to contradict them.

So far this year they've kicked off about

• Tractors going up & down the village towing large trailers full of muck (today's complaint)
• Bird scarers going off dawn to dusk
• 'that awful smell' when spreading
• tractors going up & down the road before 7.30am
• tractors going up & down the road after 7.00pm
• farmers blocking access to land (where no footpath exists)
• shooting wood pigeons when they've just drilled the fields
• tractors driving too slowly when they're in a car & trying to drive somewhere
• tractors driving too fast when they're not.

FFS, why move to the country in the first place? Don't they realise they're living in a giant open food factory?

And breathe

They are the same twats that moan about bells when they move in next door to the church, the sound of traffic fifty yards from the motorway etc.

My grandson has a freind who used to race Go Karts, his home track was owned by Nigel Mansell, (so this is where this story came from)
A certain presenter from the program 'Location Location Location' moved into the area. When a redevelopment plan was put in for the circuit, she opposed it.
causing all sorts of restrictions to be placed on the planning permission. This in turn increased the costs substantially. The modifications were done and not long after, she moved out of the area!

Probably similar to events around Mallory Park, which I believe has had all sorts of restrictions placed on it.

Kirstie frickin Allsopp you’re meaning, and all to do with the Dunkeswell go karts. Miserable fuck9n bitch.

people just don't do enough local research when buying a property.
Many years ago I used to drive for an overnight parcel company which had a massive sorting depot purpose built on a brownfield site.
A few years later developers built houses all around it and sure enough the complaints started coming in.
" No Madame, we can't run the vehicles during the day it's an overnight operation... the clue is in the name...overnight parcel delivery "
" I'm sorry your sleep was disturbed but why did you buy a house next to a depot that has nearly 500 truck movements a night ? "
" The estate agent didn't tell you about us ?..... take it up with him then...goodnight Madame "

I actually love the smell when the slurry is put down.

Cracking.

Doesn't bother me either, nor does the sound of sheep bleating when separated from their mothers which I forgot to put on the list & prompted more than one call to the RSPCA (I know the livestock owner who grows some excellent quality bacon as well), but then I knew what I was getting in to when I bought the house, geographically speaking.

Since lockdown started, there's been a flurry of whingers appear on the local version of the Nextdoor app (it's a "neighbourhood" app to connect people locally, but these twats are anything but neighbourly).

They'll complain about anything, but the latest ongoing bitching sessions are on helicopters.... a few days ago they were moaning about the noise from some Navy Lynx (OK Wildcats, for you aviation fans) that flew over.
Previously they've moaned about Apaches flying into Thorney Island and Chinooks flying down from RAF Odiham.

We have Portsmouth Naval Dockyard and Thorney Island Army base local to us and RAF Odiham (home of the Chinook Squadrons) just up the road. All active military bases.

I miss the Chinooks whomping overhead (no longer near Odiham), had a couple of Merlins over today.

 

[DanBow]

All I get is the police helicopter by me. It was so low last night I'm sure he only just missed the chimney!

Errrrrrrm, why are they bleating and why would you separate them exactly?
Are you a taff?....

Woman over the road to my field has come moaning when I was burning rubbish as far away from any properties as I could get it, she moaned & reported us to the council as we had a caravan (she told the council we were living in it) she complained when we rescued a cockerel, I asked her why she chose to live in the Countryside, she didn’t like me telling her to fuck off back to Middlesbrough but she’s not complained since.

Nextdoor is a notorious soapbox for moaners and those with political bollox to spout.

It's even worse than this site.

I was bought up in a small pit village, left for 5 years then moved back & lived there for a further 22 years in the short time I was away a new housing estate was built on the old pit banks & that's where the trouble began …… moans about sheep or cows in the fields next door to the new houses, moans about farm machinery going through the estate to access the fields (planners fault), cops called every time someone was seen with a gun bag (perfectly legal), assholes on the fields illegally & well off the marked footpaths

The funny one was a public footpath that ran between 2 new houses, one guy didn't care the other (local magistrate) was up in arms about people walking past his front window, he fenced it off (gone the next morning as its the way the kids went to school) he planted rose bushes on it, those were laid neatly on his front lawn with a polite note saying he would be finding himself in court if this stuff continued, he watered it to make the path a complete mudbath, the kids loved jumping in it & splashing his windows ……. 3 months & he sold up moved to the other end of the same estate ………… where the next year they started to build industrial units right behind his house

So I've discovered. I only use it for buying or selling stuff now.

Remember reading about a famous musician (it may have been Ian Anderson) who bought a small island off the coast of Scotland, as I recall he bought it because he loved fishing there, the island was sparsely populated by about twenty properties, a couple of shops & a small school, apparently one day shortly after buying the island Ian was approached by one of the islanders who told him they would like him to attend a meeting in the school hall that evening, he went along to be greeted by a hostile crowd laying down the law about what they would & wouldn’t allow him to do, I believe he told them he had no plans to change anything at present but if they didn’t wind their necks in he’d demolish everything & turn it into a nature reserve.
