    I wonder why people have to brag so much online? Totally pointless as it`s totally unprovable. I know that this won`t make me popular but in real life I am Fred the Shred.

    I'm getting treated like I'm the cause of Sir Fred of Shreddington right now!!!

    Posts like islandannie's seem a little pointless - childish really. Actually childish rather than metaphorically childish.

    LOL pobby... You're too principled to be Fred the Shred, but that did give me a good chuckle. Now if Brodders said he was Fred, I'd believe it. He must at least have Fred the Shred's sock puppet as one of his aliases.

    What a very nice thing to say, thank you. Not feeling so great at the moment and that has really cheered me up.

    Given that most farmers' wealth has been built up by getting handouts from the EU for the last twenty years, one wonders why the OP feels the need to boast.

    Farmers have been on benefits for decades.

    Since the debacle of 15% interest rates, the sweaty and shameful withdrawal from the ERM and the demise of Thatcherism, also the decline from over three million unemployed, I have prospered with the good stewardship of Labour chancellors.

    This government has allowed me to realise standards of living not associated with capitalist bondage.

    Many will know from previous postings that I am a farmer and a cash rich landlord,(Lady).

    In 1992 I bought 2 semi detached houses in Aberdeen for £91,750 as a cash buyer,today they are selling and very quickly at a little over £200,000,both are on long leases to BP at £1100 PCM.

    I also have two holiday properties in an area of oustanding natural beauty which are free from mortgage and very heavily booked until until the beginning of November a real bonus as the season nomally ends in September.

    So all is not Gloom,infact I am just back from Java and feeling quite perky and hopefull.


    Translate: i'm in debt up to the eyebrows and when interest rates go up I'm gonna be more stuffed than a dead badger after a session with an over-enthusiastic trainee taxidermist.

    All I can hope for is that our poor, deluded islandannie is not currently an air traffic controller...

    heaven help the poor pilots, if she is.

    Oh well, putting you back on ignore, Mrs!

    What is it when someone comes on to a forum bragging about their wealth? n particular in times like this? It tells me an awful lot about that person and I am glad I don`t have to meet her!

    I think one of her previous posts was to boast about how marvellous she was not to have lowered herself to procreate.

    I think that sentiment is something we can all agree on.
