Yup. Brian makes a fair point and I appreciate that what I do is so niche I don't suffer from it.

But, I think bloodsports is another one of those things that does not require an intimate knowledge of farming economics in order to form an opinion on.

If intimate knowledge is required to form an opinion then this forum is finished.
I shall simply ignore such an edict. 😉

Just for a giggle, imagine that everyone does have an opinion on your profession; that everyone thinks you're very rich; that people think that you can't be trusted to look after your workplace or your students properly; that the weather will affect your income massively; that you get home from work stinking every day; that you live at work, so frequently you'll be doing stuff at 7am and 9pm as well as a full day's work, seven days a week; that your wife will keep the home & office functioning for no direct pay. Fun eh?

OTOH, maybe they are just mugs.

I didn't think teaching was that bad.

In fairness, people think patents are evil, patent attorneys are over paid because it's easy duh, and the that we are lawyers and lawyers are bad mkay.

Well, you probably do come home stinking of smelly children.

And often with a bug or virus they've donated to you. See also nurses.

The only person I knew who hunted regularly was definitely not of the 'toff' variety of farmer - I think he was something like the 15th generation of the same family in a fairly modest traditional family mixed farm (corn, beef, sheep, cider). Goodness knows how they make enough money now.

Mind you, he doesn't need any money now, as pushing up daisies doesn't require income, just outgoings.

Same here in both respects, in my case he was a self employed plasterer who sadly died very young.

Did the fox finally out wit him?

The fox that strutted past my studio window yesterday whilst I was on the bike escaped both my clutches and those of the camera on my phone

We have at least 4 foxes visit nightly. The males have all attacked each other in the last few weeks because it is humping seasson, but we haven't had any farmers riding horses chasing them.

Something - I can't remember what - happened between the local hunt and my late FiL. So he banned them from his fields. Mind you he was an aggressive old bastard: he caught a rider in one of top fields one day and an argument about rights of way ensued. She threatened him with her riding crop, he grabbed the bridle and threatened to bring the horse down. The joys of rural life.
