PeskyWabbits 464 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 In the past few days I have had some gems from friends/associates. The first was a comment from a discussion about hobbies. When I said I did a bit of shooting, the answer was 'murdering nature's pets' Well that's one way of putting it I suppose. Then I had some guests, one looked at my ducks and said, 'that's a big one, is it pregnant?' Er, right.. My hens roost in a tree. A guest said, 'how do they get up there?' Jeez, education from Wallace and Gromit. Has anyone had similar experiences? 1 Quote Link to post

Durham John 693 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I just keep thinking of the old song " let me take you by the hand" sung by a few diff people but the logic's the same we show other people a totally different world to what they are used to Quote Link to post
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I'm a townie. I grew up on a council estate. But, I never was one for putting graffiti on shop shutters or nicking cars. I preferred the woods and the rivers - It was always quieter and it smelled nicer I'm always amazed at the way some people (Townies) will recoil when I offer them rabbit or pigeon ..... Good fresh honest meat Vs processed crap. ..... I made rabbit pasties and took them into work, to educate the townies. Everyone loved them, they'd all gone in 10mins 6 Quote Link to post

walshie 2,804 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I had a friend from London stop here for a few nights recently. (And I'm sure he will read this.) When we were sitting outside having a coffee, he pointed to a sheep field and said "What's that white thing." I kid you not, eh Gav. Quote Link to post

dytkos 17,784 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I was outside the pub last summer and in the distance you can see a solar farm. Some Brummie holiday maker asked me if it was a lake. I replied "What, on a hillside!" Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post
