Combined harvester and I'll give you the key.

It's that time of year when this song lives rent-free in my head. I randomly sang it out loud without thinking in Tesco yesterday and got some strange looks.

How do I get it out of my head? Help me please 🙏🙏🙏🚜

Hahahaha, I was singing this before I'd even opened your thread! 😆

This randomly came on the playlist at work last week, we were all singing along 😂

You've only got yourself to blame! 😆 think you'll have to play it on repeat until you (or your neighbours!) have had enough!

You're welcome...!

I played it to my dh and children - they know the song anyway as we have this problem every year 😂 - and they just slowly backed away!

This song was killed for me by my father, a chartered accountant specialising in farms not quite big enough for an estate manager. There was no way, he said, that with the combined acreage of the two farms as stated they would be able to keep up payments on the harvester.

Sing the original instead - I've got a brand new pair of rollerskates...

In those days they didn't have the scope to set up a solar farm and get the Feed In Tariff.

If they did that, they wouldn't need a harvester, for the fields would be covered with panels!
I did think they might go in for contracting for others.

You're welcome 😃

Maybe that's why he wants to give her the key -she's the one caught using stolen goods. He seems a bit of a sly one who'd do something like that.
