What stupid stuff have you seen on the road today?

Raining hard on Monday,  8.00am I had just made my omelette and a nice cup of tea was waiting when the phone went, could I help please urgently.

Guy who runs a county house weekend party business had given instructions to a family of Germans on how to find the house, however they elected to turn into one of our field gateways where there was plenty of chalk for them to turn around.  But no they carried on about three hundred yards down the side of one of our heaviest clay fields, just sown with wheat.

I went down with the Teleporter making a filthy mess myself and when I arrived there were five of them looking pretty miserable under umbrellas.  They were well and truly stuck

Slipped a strap through the towing eye and gently pulled them out onto the road, mud everywhere.  Their English was limited and they could not explain why they carried when it was obviously a field rather than a driveway

Tea and omelette were cold on my return

Apparently a couple of whiskys are waiting for me at the local pub so I may go down and hear a little more.

 

All in the interest of keeping friendly relations with Germany after a hard Brexit!  (you never know when you might need a Claas spare part!)
