Rabid 1,936 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Your looking at silly money mate, be very lucky to find anywhere under 10k an acre, depending on where and what you want, I don’t think it’s the pikeys pushing the price so much as the equestrian world. edited to add, if you want rural, run down, and very cheap, look at France, I considered it but the french are not really to my taste 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Many moons ago as a young single man I would regularly go for a shine around the golf course behind my house after work for a few bunny,s then cut through the allotments on my way home, never make a mess or be greedy but a couple of spuds from one row a few carrots from another an onion and a bit of anything else in season then back home to put the stew on, never found it hard work at all, apart from jumping over the gate 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky 3,325 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Some years ago the Allotments at Hougton on the Hill were being robbed on a weekly basis , I thought it spiteful and nasty at the time and though I lived nearby and was often given vedge in exchange for Rabbits or birds it was none of my business , one Friday night they were caught in the act , two Men and a Woman and they came out with a pack of lies denying the lot the older off the two men said anyway what are you old b*****ds going to do about it , What happened next was they were all barred from every Pub, Shop, and business in the village and all those old b*****ds made their lives a misery until the day they left ..
