He said behind the gate, NOT in his gateway, which indicates he was not on the farmer's land, probably on a public footpath. Either way it's clear from the OP that he considered himself on public property. Still don't see where arrogance come into it. :shrug:
 
oh come on, you dont say "behind the gate" when your nowhere near it.

Of course we werent there so only have the account to go on, the google maps shot a typical rural scenario. No pavement so no public footpath just grass verge and hedgerows. It sounds like the OP was setup between the gate and the road on the grassy verge or in the gateway however you want to call it.

He assumed that because he wasn't "in" the field (on the other side of the gate) he was on public land and was arrogant about saying so (the very opening remark to the conversation was sarcastic). Now unless he was actually in the road which I doubt as he woudn't want his gear smashed by a passing car. Given that situation (which is how it reads to me) the farmer was perfectly entitled to not give permission.

Pedantic or what! :bang: I was just giving the OP the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you should have done the same before resorting to name calling! :shake:

and maybe the OP could have been a little more polite and respectful to the farmer! Very few people seem to have given him the benefit of the doubt...

*sigh*

This was originally posted as an amusing story. I really don't see why certain people feel the need to over analyze it and pass judgement. As it seems to be only you and I still posting on this thread, I suggest we leave it there. Please feel free to have the last word if you so wish. :wave:
 
I thought it was bloody amusing myself, will some of you get off your high horses and have a laugh already? :lol:
 
Priceless. :thumbs:
