SteamyTea Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 There is an old storyline in the Archers about5 Brian Aldridge, as a young man, allowing some containers to be buried on his land. 30 years later, they leak and contaminate the River Am. He had to sell the family home and some of his land to pay for it all. Farmers eh, custodians of the landscape, making the countryside better for future generations. If you are certain that you are not liable, in any way, for this, wait till his cheque has cleared and report the wanker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayc89 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I worked at a caravan dealer, washing the vans on weekends for a bit of cash. All their bangers (£1000 and under, i.e. the ones Joe Public wouldn't touch) would get sold to highway construction workers in bulk. They were for the workers to live in whilst working on new roads and when they were coming to the end of the job, they'd get flattened and dumped under said road. Apparently there's a fair few under the M18... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc89 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 On the subject of farmers, I borrow a tele handler of a local one for odd jobs; fixing the chimney etc. I was speaking with him about renovating our bathroom; knocking the old tiles and plaster off, ceilings down etc. He said I should have brought it all round to him and he'd have used it as hardcore!

Crofter Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I don't see why you would burn plasterboard, it's pretty inert stuff AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmers usually like to shoot or poison things. Obviously shooting would not work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Thomas Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 It gets rid of the paper. If you got it really hot, conceivably you'd get lime out of it which would increase soil alkalinity. I'm not recommending it, mind 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
