Some townspeople seem to regard the countryside as a recreational area for themselves which should work for that purpose alone.Never mind farming for food and land management.
I am not convinced tv's current offerings do anything to dispel this notion eg Countryfile.
Anyone behaving lawfully in carrying out countryside pursuits or work should not be asked by police constables to write any apology to anyone for acting lawfully and anyone so asked should decline.
I too remember Jack Hargeaves and "How".Much better,to me,at the time than "Blue Peter".
Different times,I suppose.
