Mr Sourpuss’s clever strategy

I was looking at another website where there were comments about the proposed Sandridge Forest and somebody pointed out that £8.5 million is about 41% above the going rate for the amount of prime arable land needed to create the forest. So, it seems to me that the lesson to learn is buy some land, be as un-neighbourly as you can be and people will pay any money to get rid of you. However I’ll reserve judgment for when we’re given more information at the meeting next week.
