Fantasy RPA
10 November 2006
Have to laugh – just been through (again) the issue of two little fields that reside, have always resided and still reside in Teesdale.
They are just small, ordinary, predominantly rain soaked grass fields that stand just on the outskirts of a typically idylic dales village. However, although originally correctly identified by the Rural Payments Agency, the fields have knotted their travel handkerchieves and since migrated (chronologically) down-the-hill outside of the Severely Disadvantaged Area, out into the North Sea and then joined some arable farmers set-aside rotation, but we’re not sure where… but it’s all OK now, as the RPA have managed to remember their access codes (or whatever has been preventing them over the last few months) for the relevant database and the wayward fields are correctly pigeonholed.
Oh, by the way, what sparked this note off is the fact that the poor unfortunate farmer has just been reprimanded for this aberrant behaviour.
Preposterous
