Nope, this is a sugarloaf
It will be when the hedge comes down.
Fields are normally filled with sheep and cattle, added bonus. And the sun occasionally makes an appearance.
Great place for stargazing as well.
Because he doesn’t give a shit about wildlife habitat, probably goes fox hunting as well.Would I be correct in thinking your oppo is a towny...? Why trash the hedge..?
Because he was paid a lot of dosh and in charge, does not equate to intelligence or ability, so many examples of "head up arse syndrome" in businesses today, one "may" even sight one's self Andrew![]()
If you must know, he is working in conjunction with the farmer (Flo) to ensure that the environmental impact is managed properly.Because he doesn’t give a shit about wildlife habitat, probably goes fox hunting as well.
How does that work then when they are removing wildlife’s home/shelter?If you must know, he is working in conjunction with the farmer (Flo) to ensure that the environmental impact is managed properly.
Ok you know best Derek, Flo obviously doesn't know anything about managing the countryside.How does that work then when they are removing wildlife’s home/shelter?
I am never going to bite, Ian, so don't bother.
You never mentioned managing the Countryside you said “managing the environmental impact” IMPACT, the bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki had an impact, farmers destroying hedges have an impact, dress it up however you like if it eases your social conscience but ripping down a hedge will have an impact on wildlife however you manage it.Ok you know best Derek, Flo obviously doesn't know anything about managing the countryside.
I'll have to telll her sheep and cows that next time I visit.
Thank heavens for that, I haven't had a tetanus shot for ages!!I am never going to bite Ian so don't bother.
There you go again Derek.You never mentioned managing the Countryside you said “managing the environmental impact” IMPACT, the bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki had an impact, farmers destroying hedges have an impact, dress it up however you like if it eases your social conscience but ripping down a hedge will have an impact on wildlife however you manage it.
There you go again Derek.
Who said anything about 'ripping down a hedge'?
You have just answered your own question Derek.Um...you did. The phrase "when the hedge comes down" would seem to be self evident. If you were talking about trimming it then you would have said so.... ergo, the hedge is about to removed.
If your farmer has signed up to the Environmental Stewardship Scheme (e.g. the ELS) then I'd be surprised if she (?) would agree to the removal of the hedge as it's a) a natural field boundary and b) the ELS pays them to maintain hedgerows.

Managing the environment is a way of saying I’m pulling this tree down as it’s blocking the view from my new build house but I’ll take it down in a responsible manner which actually means responsible for removing wildlife’s habitat/ food etc.
Er, um, errrrrr, umFacts are always good, you are replying to Cougar’s post, not mine.
