Not really my AIBU, but whilst it was quite amusing for 10 minutes the mexican stand off outside my house is starting to do my head in

[quicklybeendrivenmad]

Live in a small village, with small lanes, our lane is pretty narrow but the only straight one that the farmers can use to access the fields at the bottom.

The two farmers who own the land are two brothers who fell out when their parents died years ago, and have not spoken since.

Brother A coming up the lane with his combine. Brother B coming down the lane with his tractor and trailer, neither will reverse to allow the other to pass, this has now been 20 minutes and all I can hear is horns beeping, and the farmers shouting insults at each other via a third party (one of our neighbours) cars are having to reverse back onto the village green and access via another lane.

at least you could go out

I think she meant that the person whose posts were deleted was a troll - not you.

ahh never saw them

Yes same here! They all drive a bit too fast (and shed hay everywhere) but it is understood they are often racing against time in good weather…

This is me goiing to bed DH and girls still watching I have DH car in pub car park and whopefully get mine out

@JudgeJ we used to have a very senile deaf old cat who liked to sleep in the cornfields outside our house. If we couldn’t find her when we saw the combines coming, we’d have to go out and wave our arms to stop them until we tracked her down 😬🙈 The cat died at 21 and not of a combine 😅

@HannahSternDefoe @SoMuchToBits yes to the combine harvester link !! And welsh farmers although I had them down as Abel and Adam 😂😂

Not you! It's the one whose posts have all been deleted! Its @Happyandyouknowit83 !

@Outoforder2 I've seen them have posts removed on a few other posts today too , hopefully be gone soon .. faster than a tractor or combine harvester through a tight country lane ...

Disappointing this cannot be in Playmoland.

@Riverlee not Kent. A 'shire

Does she have the authority though?

@SoMuchToBits If you do get the combine, can the 2 farmers be called Tomos Twp and Tomos Twp Too?😂

I can only assume the deleted poster was trying to flog combine removal services and it was judged a breach of t&cs...

@HannahSternDefoe unfortunately I already have a Playmo Tomos (he is a boy with raft in a leisure set).

I have used a fair number of Welsh names already, so I'll need to think a bit for another one for a new combine harvester driver...

Sounds like something from the Archers or my village

For some reason I am now humming the Miss Marple theme tune!

Never had this in our village although I did end up in a ditch when some idiot in a big Toyota truck with a sheep trailer attached refused to slow down on a single track road. He didn't even stop!!

Not you !!! Another poster has been deleted and also from posting on other threads - that’s whom we think might have been a troll as apparently. There’s been a spate.

Update, just taken the dog out and usually walk with the lady and her dog who is joined onto to Brother A (was actually the original farmhouse but they chopped it in two, costing them thousands and had half each, and Brother B sold his half to get away.)

Apparently the combine was returned to the farm, (am guessing tractor and trailer got returned to the other) Brother actually arrived home about 11pm absolutely livid, screaming and shouting that he had to go back to the police station to retrieve his keys today and they should have impounded other brothers tractor and trailer as he was in the right, she said it went on for a couple of hours with him plotting all sorts of revenge, as other brother was told to arrive an hour earlier to get his keys. Final outcry was he is not providing the hay bales for seating for the village show on Saturday as he will be too busy trying catch up on harvesting!!

My neighbour has had her phone sorted, apparently the blokes boss really felt for her as it was not her fault, and arranged an emergency appointment for her today, can just imagine engineer explaining to boss why he could not complete that job but I did see him taking pictures.

Am pretty sure this fued is only going to get worse but on the plus side the pub did a roaring trade on food last night as everyone was too busy watching the drama to cook.

This is my favourite village drama ever

Thank you for the update, glad phone woman is sorted. Bit gutted that it sounds like they won't both be at the village show :)

Good to hear the phone line was sorted and the pub profited nicely!!

Thank you for the update.

Great diagram x

Sounds like the road outside our school at drop off and pick up! 😂 Every morning there is a stand off, person A won't (most likely can't) reverse their car up the double parked lane, person B refuses to pull in to space in front or reverse into space behind. Before long the whole lane is blocked and pedestrians are trying to make someone move. I've usually walked down, dropped off, had a chat and walked back and they are still sat there. Every bloomin day!!

So I feel your pain - its stupid and pathetic. People that won't give way are childish twats with nothing better to do than try and pull rank and waste everyone's time.
