Hello, ok i can understand if he is raising the plight of farmers that is good, but i would still err on the side of local people and much disruption in their lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GET Real ***🙄 everything he's tried to do to make it a success, whether it be the restaurant,shop,cattle or wheat etc something has put an obstacle in his way. for obstacle,read "the council","the weather" or "badgers" etc,etc. AND,has he has so easily demonstrated,it doesn't just affect him BUT every farmer who tries his best to earn a living at this time.

Hello, i never said he was a fraud , and i am not a ***, it is all very well that he highlights the plight of farmers but the losses that many many farmers incurred with the wet weather are not realy going to affect him like many farmers i know with losses running in to 1000s of pounds, and maybe you should try living near his farm where once it was a nice place to live now it is a nightmare for local people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 The point he makes is, even though he has millions he's proving how difficult it is in the farming industry yo make anything at all. All the farmers I know enjoyed all the previous series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Having been to his farm shop recently its presence must drive the neighbours absolutely mad. There are cars coming and going in huge numbers. I've never seen a farm shop before where you have to queue to get in and when you get inside there is hardly anything there. Most people seem to buy something just to get a souvenir Diddy Sqat carrier bag and hoping to see someone off the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, This is what i was saying on my Post, it is all very well having a Farm shop on a Farm estate but when it totally disrupts the local residents way of life i do not think many on PW would not be so keen to have where they live, There is a farm shop near here which is based in a small village , a narrow road through and sure it has a weight limit yet large container lorries access every day to the detriment of residents, Edited May 4 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 It is the same anywhere a TV series has been filmed. One place which springs to mind is Plockton. Totally ruined after the Macbeth TV series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Martin, Fishermans Friends, Poldark and now Beyond Paradise, as soon as the camera crews move out the souvenir shops appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 watched the first series and enjoyed it, we haven't got Amazon Prime so will have to wait till it becomes more widely available but looking forward to watching it. With regard Clarkson disrupting the locals, it happens all over the country with any attraction, even the school run, garden centres etc., can be disrupting for nearby locals.

I have been twice, I don’t visit Cornwall for the last forty years because of the tourists (of which I would be one myself, obviously).
