    Saw on u tube of a fella in England only got his teleworker an lifted a car down a good bit down the road I'd say they be plenty scratches on it

    Occasionally happens people pull in talking on phone at one gate. But I've noticed a couple of days ago that there is a bag of rubbish that has been chucked in along behind the gate so I'm going to get a sign somewhere on the lines of "car regs being monitored" - haven't quite decided on the wording yet.

    I live near a river and plenty lads park in the gate for fishing , loads of time the park right at the gate even though there is room to park at the side of it, very annoying

    Make it sound official.

    "Due to illegal dumping cars are monitored and registrations recorded and offenders will be subjected to a tractor turning up on their driveway and an old smelly half rotten bale of silage left behind"

    I have an old gate that's at the end of a short laneway. I put a trail cam there as there was the odd bit of dumping. Well, I haven't caught any dumpers but some of the things I have seen:

    A lad taking a dump right at the gate
    A couple at it at 2am
    A deer being pulled over the gate and skinned/disemboweled

    Some people....

    Buy a battery powered game/trail camera. Could come quite effective.

    We've land down a quiet country road (who doesn't). Sick of cleaning up used condoms, all sorts of rubbish. Came upon a young couple at it once in the middle of the day. Mad panic to get dressed and I just sitting on the tractor waiting to pull into the field. What could I do.

    Stack a few round bakes strategically at the car but not damaging it.
    See how they like it.

    It's been done!

    I would have thought lots of things.

    You could have gotten down and told them take their time and chatted about the weather.

    If you had your phone there could be a market for amateur porn videos.

    They sound like they were well up for it and might have let you join in.

    You could've gone and banged on the window shouting angrily about all the used condoms they'd left around the place.

    Maybe they'd nowhere better to go. The car wouldn't be the most comfortable place to do it so maybe you could've offered to rent them a couple of bales of hay for the next time they wanted a roll in the hay. That said having worked with hay having a roll in it isn't high on my list of things to do. I'll stick with the bed.

    I was offering practical advice to poor patsy who was sitting there in his tractor either not knowing what way to look or staring intensly at them on how best to deal with the situation next time he comes on an amorous couple.

    It's sounds like a popular spot. Now if only I knew where it was there'd be fun to be had with sleeping bags for mice and a squeezy bottle of helmans.

    Have you been already. Would you recommend it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,559 ✭✭✭pedigree 6

    Now I don't know if you're serious or not.:D

    But if you are I've heard good reviews.

    No not being serious just can't do smileys on the phone.
    But that said the good reviews are good for anyone who's interested.

    I heard that a lot of them cars got fixed penalty notices, has anyone looked at opening up a field for parking and charging in?

    There's a road near here with a quarry entrance and wide bends both sides and this couple parked on one of the bends at 10am a few mornings and got down to business, brazen out. I was going to town one day and they were parked there coming home half an hour later and the windows of the car were steamed up. They were no spring chickens either.
