Some of the best most fertile farmland in the country and nicest countryside as part of that.Together with the best growing climate.So let’s turn it into an urban zb hole while we leave huge swathes of the North a barren under developed waste land.That’ll fix it.
You should load your dear mother into the Jag and take a holiday up north for a change instead of Mainland Europe. You’d actually find the north is actually rather a lovely
Ironically she is going to be loaded into a hearse tomorrow morning to take her back home to rest with my dad in a part of a London field that will be forever Surrey.
What we have is a very widespread problem. I am in Perthshire (quite a bit north) and my town is encroaching on fertile agricultural land. The middle of the town is derelict with closed down shops and hotels that no longer function. Its easier for the big housebuilders to take over green fields and drop ticky tacky boxes on them.

Need to ‘define’ the ‘north’…
Some think it ends at the M62, and that’s where Scotland begins…
Being pedantic i’d say the real north starts around Preston,the manc/Liv/Leeds would be North midlands,but that’s a pet theory iv’e long nurtured I always have a true sense of the North when in Tyneside or Wetherby at a push.As a Mancunian i’d be far more amenable to being Southern Scotland,anything butbeing under the jackboot of putrid Babylondinium.

I know where you are coming from. The builders keep going for green field sites.What about the brown field sites ,the former mills and factories. The towns and cities have nothing in them but the periphery is bursting out.
Or the golf courses.The very quintessence of wasted land.Way too many of em,but that wouldn’t wash with the masonic demographic I guess.
Listen to what comedian George Carlin says about golf courses… a brilliant piece of observation. He spoke
a lot of sense this guy! Lol… the first half of the video about homelessness is also well worth a listen. One of
my favourite comedians!

■■■■ fine satarist ol George r.i.p,part of the fine boat-rocker tendency that the late great Bill Hicks and even,early Woody Allen (love&death,bananas) made happen by comedic genius.Hard to find that intelligence with the current crop,Macintyre ad nauseum.
