JackWilliams 1 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I think the spirit of the countryside is either in your blood or not spot on. Im 17, go clubbing and to pubs all the time, but thers nothing better than being out on a mountain at 3am lamping. My fathers a city boy and so was mum, where did i get into it from?? its just a state of mind, the way you are Quote Link to post

logman 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Well I live and have been brought up on a counsil estate and not afraid to admit it either, it does however border fields and fields to one side so maybe not as town like as it could be! I own my own house in this squalid place i call home but I spend most of my time in the country though, and all of my permission is in the country, I try not to poach as i don't have the need to, but do take advantage of the odd quiet spot from time to time (without causing a nuisance ). I get along great with the farmers and gamekeepers who give me the permission and on occasions have the odd drinking sessions with a few, all this from a young man of 23 (some would say "old before my time"!!) i am one of probabily many that are divided in this way. Hopefully everyone on this site has one or more interests in common which they love and indeed live for, so why should it matter where they originate from? I am what most would call a "towny" but that doesn't mean I don't understand and respect the lifestyles of other folk and it certainly doesn't mean i'm a wanker (although some would disagree!! ) Dog lads on the whole wether from town or country respect and understand the countryside mate. the problem i have is when a bunch of city idiots buy all the houses as second homes and then moan about the smell of a farm or cockerals that crow too early! :realmad: They are wankers mate plain and simple :realmad: Real country people cant afford to live their anymore, if i had my way mate id get rid of them and move all the people like yourself, who live in towns etc but who appreciate the country for what it is.

J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I have lived in a built up area all of my life. Of course, i love the countryside, but if your mind is the right way you will see wildlife where you live no matter how built up it may be. From time to time i see a Lesser spotted woodpecker edging its way up a neighbouring tree. Long tailed tits come floating past from time to time. Sparrowhawks, squirrels, chaffinches and even the odd group of jays fly over. Living in the city has never bothered me and i think i appreciate the countryside so much more because of it. I never take my time out in the fields for granted. Its not where you live that matters, but whats in your heart. Quote Link to post

Well evict the retired city pricks who live in the cottage next door, and get some lads like yourself out here Quote Link to post
