around the comer with its bracing frosts and invigorating downpours, farmworkers across the land must work like dogs to get the harvest in before it goes to waste.
Two of these rough handed yokels are seen here being helped in their work by the latest model from the Spagthorpe Motor Company.
Designed as both a mode of transport and a market garden, the SMC Organic combines a common-orgarden flatbed truck with around two acres of rich, nutritious soil; a tonne of chicken manure and several large bags of Old Uncle Spagthorpe's Finest Seed (Prop. Sir Jos Spagthorpe).
Simply leave the doughty little vehicle out in the soft spring rain, sow the seeds and leave to grow in the warming drizzle. Six months later and bob's your uncle—you'll have around 20 cubic feet of rough, thick, inedible moorland grass on your hands.
We asked these friendly, applecheeked young farm workers what
they thought of this revolution in farming methods: "Get orf moi land or oil set the dogs on ee" one replied.
"We be knowing youre toipe of city boiys, coming down into the countryzoide with yer unnattral practisis and fancy airs. First sniff of a pint of Old Brainthumper zyder and yer on yer arse. Now bugger orf or oi'll turn moi shotgun on 'ee."
So there you have it, another ringing endorsement for the Spagthorpe Motor Company.
