Why should I spend more time in the English Countryside?

[Spinney]

Pitiful what some smutty folk will post for a cheap laugh - anyway, for your information, to attract some birds I gently caressed my fat balls into a cage and emptied my seed into a tray, after that I thought it would be a good idea to keep my nuts dry so I've nailed them up under the table.

Ha! 3BM has out Fnaar'd @Fnaar!!

I suppose that somebody should start a sister thread titled 'Why should I spend more time in London?' (or should that be 'any'?) but TBH, those who want to spend more time there already know the answer, as do those of us who don't!

It would get you away from the people who suggest to you that a visit to the countryside would be nice.
You don't think they make these suggestions for your benefit do you?

Oh dear. Are they in fact trying to get rid of him. ?

The English Countryside is a confection etc

Superb!! I really liked reading that!!

 

[welsh dragon]

Excuse me, but what exactly did he say. I seem to have lost the plot. Nothing unusual there I hear you say.

I agree.

Nothing unusual in anyone losing the plot reading one of Dell's rambles....

@Spinney. Thank god for that. I thought it was just me.

So – it’s not the engagement with nature that would attract me. It’s the engement with people, past and present. I guess there’s a further debate to be had about the nature of, erm, Nature, rural or otherwise and how it engages with people, but that’s a different topic.[/quote]
I like the countryside precisely because I can get away from people! (Sometimes in the company of a few other people ...)

@User1314, please come and visit us in the countryside...

 

[Hill Wimp]

Yeah it's really horrible, city dwellers would just get bored hopefully

 

[dellzeqq]

Do you think the density of population might have any bearing on that? I'm sure I could find other grisly rural murders, if I could be bothered, but in this case I was just offering a defence to Crackle in the face of your rather silly mockery.

the answer to your question is that the English Murder is a small town affair. You're much safer in Brighton or London

Speaking of murder, two sisters I know grew up on a sheep farm and have tales of Cumbrian gothic. One time their grandmother's pet monkey attacked a rambler so their father put a bullet through it's head. The monkey not the rambler but next time who knows? The sisters are Londoners now so a happy ending of sorts.

 

[Spinney]

Most of the country is perfectly safe. You just need to avoid the Midsomer area.

Thanks, but you just beat my edit!
