Attention city people - the countryside is not your personal park. For many it's a working environment and if you are visiting, you need to remember this.
In the last week I've twice been on the receiving end of tourists refusing to wait whilst I maneouvre my tractor through a gateway and once I came across some people parked in the gateway having a picnic

Personally I'd always wait or move for a farmer or tractor they have a job to do and it isn't fair. Then again I must be a minority now..

Anyone remember the information films?

It's the amount of times, at any time of day or night I've had to move on couples copulating Don't they have rooms to go to? Oh sorry most aren't allways married to whoever they are with

I can relate to that ...

People who need to get a life and stop throwing their toys out the pram

 Anything you can do, I can do slower and less efficiently.

It's not allways the old duffers Most days I'll come across the sight of a car trying to fold itself round my bumper plus the look they give you when they are trying to get back on the right side of the road. Another big bug bear is that living in a village all the "roads" in and out are not allways wide enough for two cars to pass without slowing right down. One road I use a lot is on a hill with high hedges right up to the tarmac and a few bends, why is it that numpties can't stay on their side of the road when going round a right hand bend? Don't get me started on the ethics of who reverses on a hill to pass or reverse round that blind left hand bend
