Because it's against the law to deliberately misled the puplic in adverts. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter I only know one happy farmer and he's only happy because he's retired Mr. Green

Adam was quoted as saying this in the 'Telegraph'

Quote:
Adam Henson tells 'grumpy' farmers to re-brand
Farmers have to get away from their image as “overworked underpaid whingers” and present a more positive side of the countryside, according to Adam Henson, the presenter of BBC’s Countryfile.

Next time you see a vaner CG, wave and smile Whistle and when you've just showered the car behind with your field, stop and offer to wash it Thumbs Up we'll eventually learn to love you Laughing
