Why should I spend more time in the English Countryside?

Maybe they just don't like what your giving them. Do you have a cat. ? If you do maybe thats the reason they avoid your bird table. And where is the bird table. ?

In his living room I expect.

@asterisk. No we haven't, but we have just about everything. Quantity as well as quality. So there

We have three cats. Our nearest 3 neighbours have seven between them. The bird numbers are huge. Doubt it will be cat-related.

Try putting some bird seed on the bird table instead of the Dolly Parton picture..

This is clearly a set up for a joke about a pair of great tits so I shall resist.

English countryside is all very well, proper countryside that it is but the rest of it, mostly Wales and Scotland, should be cleared and theme parked for us urban dwellers to go and enjoy. After all, it's mostly full of sheep or midges and disgruntled locals with nothing to do except moan about the lack of services.

I'll start a petition, hang on....

@Crackle. So you want Welsh and Scottish countryside to look just like the english countryside. ?

No of course not, we want it to look Welsh and I decided, if you want to carry on living there you can but you have to wear traditional Welsh dress and walk everywhere or take the pony and trap, because that'll look sweet and we can take pictures of it. You can also only use coal to heat your houses which must be made of traditional stone, all others to be knocked down, excepting nice holiday cottages for us.

[QUOTE 2713112, member: 1314"]The RSPB have discovered a “need” for kids to become more connected with “nature”. The English Countryside is boring, artificial and full of UKIP supporters.

Nah...
The seaside’s alright, though, for a holiday.

Can anyone persuade me why I should spend more time in the countryside?[/quote]
It's a great place to ride a bike.......

Oh, wait a minute, User riding a bike......................na.

@Dayvo. Why am I not surprised at that. ?

I quite like getting into the English Countryside, drivers are generally better there

 

[welsh dragon]

Whether it's in the English, Welsh or Scottish countryside, drivers are more courteous. That's because we aren't in such a hurry as those who live in cities. We don't drive as fast, we let other drivers go first, we are just more relaxed.

It's funny. Norway is an incredibly beautiful country with unlimited possibilities for all nature-lovers: mountain ranges, forests, lakes and rivers, fjords, coastlines and beaches.

But I miss the English countryside, whether it's the agriculture of Essex and East Anglia, or the rolling hills and quaint villages of the Cotswolds, or the hillier parts of south west England (these are parts I know, due to my family being there) and also the midlands and north of England from holidays as a kid.

Most of the English people I know here (fellow greenkeepers) hark on about it, too.
