What total nonsense. What planet are these idiots on. Just about every farmers kid rides in the tractor! Lovely neighbours too- they'd be getting a good spraying of slurry for their efforts.

Looks like that post backfired on them.

Quite rightly so. It just gives you no faith in any of these governing bodies when we all see/know stuff happing that's far much worse but gets blind eyes.

Why can I see this on LinkedIn? I've never been on there- certainly never had an account or registered yet suddenly I have an account and apparently I live in Timsbury- wherever that is!?

Some of the news where reporting this earlier with a bit more on the story, must be some hassle going on with the neighbour, for them to have to film it through a telescope

It’s safer having kids in the cab than outside where you can’t always see them, absolutely ridiculous.

I think I upset one of the council supervisors yesterday when I pointed out if he never questions the rules from above he is just as bigger idiot as them and it doesn't matter if he was on the tools if he goes along with the rules made by some one who doesn't know the sharp end of a broom. He tried to tell us we couldn't use an insulated digging bar as they have decided it's safer to use an uninsulated beaver pack to dig post holes. I said I'll ban all tools on site then and the lads can use there hands. He didn't seem to realize quite how close to reality I was.

What a nanny state we are turning into!!

I was driving tractors at 10+, my dad had me back up the static caravans onto the pitches, weaving them in-between the rows of other caravans and then positioning them on the pads while he was banksman.. now you can’t even go in a fully sealed cab with a child size seat & lap strap! Time to grow the hedges up abit more!!

farmer needs to spread some stinky slurry right next to that lovely neighbor then block his view with unsightly junk, sad that some prat needs to report this kinda stuff. probably an incomer to the area that wants to change everything to his ideals.

All I’m going to say is don’t mess with farmers…

House down road from us, says it all on the fencing.. which the farmer erected on his own land

I'd've sent the lawn cuttings back via a s**t spreader

Valid point he makes...

Can’t believe he singled me out and tried to argue he wasn’t in the wrong! Haven’t bothered watching him since
