The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
Re paths & fields … my thoughts 1) Check with OS map that it really is a Right of Way – not just a permissive or other path 2) Report to the council 'asking for advice' rather than 'complaining' … the owner has a duty to ensure the path is maintained and usable … if there’s animal problems etc, they shouldn’t be in that field The Wilts CC footpath people I’ve met* have all been chatty and friendly, and they acknowledge they have difficult ‘customers’, but also say it’s mainly an educating role, and jointly helping solve perceived problems, whether with the landowner or walker. They also do a lot of crop/path spraying to ‘help’ the farmer as they take on the responsibility of path marking & clearing. *They also run some of the community self tidy sessions (like the copse next to my house). That’s where I’ve met them, not because of footpath issues. Except once, when it was at a formal inquiry/appeal to a council ruling on Right of Way. 3) Electric Fences? Are you sure there wasn’t a connector nearby to unlatch? I’ll try and take a pic of one next time I see one.
It does get a bit like that curved wire & loop and buzzer game, except it’s you and a shock, not a buzzer. Makes it slightly more stressy. But more amusing for spectators.
I've just listened while running reports. Another great episode - thank you. RFJ and chunkywizard sounded as though they could have sat and chatted for hours Lovely to hear your voice and those birds, Moodle xx Hope your calf improves this week, Fetch.
