Slight tangent, but Im baffled as to why there’s game keepers in the 21st century.
There’s 50,000 vacancies in the road haulage industry. Surely the gamekeepers could find more productive employment in that sector?
The landowners would be better off growing things like hemp or bamboo.
We’re entering an age in which most of our everyday ‘stuff’, bikes, furniture, household appliances etc, will be 3-d printed from hemp resin.
The landowners could go to university and equip themselves with a relevant skill set for the challenges which the planet faces.
The hemp plants would also be an ample source of bird-seed, thus keeping the grouse-fans happy.
And that’s Saturday. Phew!
