Any farmers on here? Do you own a broom?

You can thank Yorkshireman Thomas Crapper for that word!

Nope!

The word "crap" was imported into English from Dutch in the 15th century, with the meaning "chaff". It is recorded in the sense "tod efecate" from 1846; Thomas Crapper did not set up his business until 1861.

I have had the same broom for the last twenty years and it's only had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in it's time.

You are Trigger and I claim my Five pounds!

While they are sweeping up the hedge debris maybe they could do something with the mud they leave on the road up here when coming in and out of fields. I bet they dont leave their farmyards as messy.
