This is the owner of Warleigh Weir, as mentioned in yesterday's post. People who may defend others who are so sick of lockdown that they congregate in large numbers at beauty spots will now know what I was on about yesterday. It is another example of how the behaviour of a few can adversely affect the lives of many.
I think that people who behave like that during the lockdown are not likely to behave any better once it is lifted. Britain has lost its reputation for good manners in the last 30 years. We are constantly being set bad examples by those who are supposed to set the standards for the whole of the country.
What a tolerant attitude he expresses. The farmer in Devon who covered a car in slurry because it was parked in his field because of overcrowding on the road (to the beach) had a less generous outlook....
Sorry to be late to the game, what with the holiday and all. If the man had expectations (rules), he should have stated them. No cars, no cars. No restrooms, no restrooms. No walking on highways, well, you know. Just because we old folks no better, doesn't mean the new generation does, or cares.
Everyone has known about the restrictions of this place for years, but choose to ignore them. Johnny Palmer reminds everyone, every year, but people take no notice.
Brilliant - very well done
ReplyDeleteEspecially when you know that he owns the island, is responsible for its upkeep and does not charge anything to go onto his private land!
DeleteIt's a pretty straight forward manifesto on how we should all behave, now and into the future.

DeleteWhat a fantastic guy and talking pure common sense without being nasty, thought it was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI think he is Australian. We have spent years making fun of Australian men as being rude and brutish. Now the tables have turned.
DeleteI think you are right, Australian. A direct plain speaking attitude which is a breath of fresh air
DeleteHe doesn't sound Oz at all to me, but the attitude is similar.
DeleteHis name is Johnny Palmer I think. I'll look him up.
DeleteHe was born in Tasmania. He now represents the ever-growing respectable face of property development in our area. Have a look at this:

ReplyDeleteWhat a credit to the human race he is, unlike the self centred idiots he talks about in the video.
DeleteSee my comment above to Mr Faulkner.
DeleteWhat an incredibly gracious man the owner of Warleigh Weir is. The way that people treat and behave on his land sounds disgusting.
ReplyDeleteThe ingratitude is staggering.
DeleteThis is good common sense, exactly what we need now. Good presentation with straightforward info, presented in a respectful way. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMuch good may it do.

ReplyDeleteThat would probably have been my attitude.
