Having been born and bred in the countryside, I would not only agree with pretty much everything this song says, but go further to say that British people are pretty much demented when it comes to everything countryside. Neither side seems to have much of a clue.

(Oh yeah, and on the fox-hunting thing, the the young man on the left is my great-great-great-great grandfather, and the old fellow on the right is my great-great-great-great-great grandfather (in all probability). Neat, huh?)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
