This Is A Joke?......right?

[mad al 146]

quote from the local county council regarding it being the landowners responsibility that "roads and pavements are left clear of debris"................ When was the last time you saw a farmer sweep the roads after he'd hacked his hedges to bits with a mechanical cutter..................

never for hedge trimming but near me the contractors after theyve been running in and out the fields get the road sweeper on the back of the tractor and sweep the road of all the mud thats come off the tyres

I lived on a farm that fronted a main road before I moved here and always cleaned up any mess I made after hedge cutting etc., never thought it wasn't my responsibility

Round our way the landowners are really good at clearing up after hedgecutting and ditch clearing. I fing the worst offenders are building sites and the idiots who dig the roads up.....'king mess they leave behind !!!

Not round here..hawthorne clippings all over the place..forever pulling thorns out of the dogs pads....and mud on the roads..i think its a competition between the farmers as to who can leave the most shite and mud on the road..fcukin tossers

Correct me if im wrong..

 

But in germany...

 

It is the house owners/occupiers responsibility to look after the path outside their house.

 

So if somebody slips on ice.....they can sue the homeowner.

[B.P.R 2,798]

Yep. I was correct..

 

"German residents, in common with those in Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands, have a legal duty to keep the pavements outside their homes free of snow in fact, in Germany, the duty extends to half the width of the road aswell"

 

Seems this is law in other countries too

 

Hedge trimmings and shitte YES.

 

BUT SNOW

EDITED...

 

Seems the laws says 'if you leave the snow and somebody slips...its ok...

 

If you clear the snow/put grit down and somebody slips....you are liable

 

In 2010, 68-year-old Michael Pepper of Bar Hill, Cambridgeshire, rang his county council to ask if it would be all right if he spread grit (usually rock salt, which lowers the freezing point of water and thus melts ice) from a council salt bin onto his frozen street.He was warned he could be sued if someone slipped and was advised to take out public liability insurance. A local insurance broker quoted him a policy of £500 a year.

That sounds familiar mate.. I don't even bother washing my car because the first time I go out in it anywhere after, by the time I come back its like I've been ploughing the fecking fields in it, especially this last 12 months with the fields being so fecking wet and the heavy machinery in and out of them all day.. I know they've got a job to do and all but it pisses me off..

Horse shiit fcuks me off

 

Used to have to pass a horse riding place to get home from work and there was always shiit covering the roads.

 

Fookin dries like cement.

I'm showing my age here, but when I was a kid MANY moons ago , all landowners/farmers could be seen trashing the hedgerows along the roads by hand with a trashing hook and clearing up after them and wherever livestock/machines messed the roads, they would come along with a shovel and a hard bristle yard brush and clean it up

 

In those days "goretex" = a hessian sack over your shoulders
