Information - Ground keepers

[Scho264]

Just wondering and thought it would be interesting to hear grounds keeper stories .

Who do you think is the craziest also ?

I have encountered
Elywn - no introduction needed .
Telgarth - guy in the van with the dog he left us alone which was a surprise !
Four seasons - couldn't speak much English really nice guys !
Camalot - mad men who stalk you with cameras and threaten to put them all over the internet and sake there cameras at you like its a lethal weapon .
Eastmoor - get eaten alive by the hounds if you get caught !

My strangest though was st Thomas I think it's called over in Liverpool , wow he is a bit crazy !

Cain hill there meant to be fun !
That's just a couple ,let's hear yours !

Not really a ground keeper... more of the owner, but we went to this farm we thought was abandoned about 3 years ago, it had loads of old machinery and vehicles, and nice derpy-looking farmhouse. Climbed over a fence around the back, walked through a field and got looking around the vehicles, taking a few photos, mooching about when someone shouts at us. He asks what we're doing, realises we're not thieves and after literally talking to us for an hour (yes, actually an hour), lets us carry on looking around.

When we'd done we thought we though we had better tell the guy we're off and thank him for letting us carry on. So we go in the farm house, and ended up talking to him for about another hour, he just went on and on and on talking about the problems he'd had there with vandals and thieves and people coming into the house. Fortunately we were disrupted by a couple of pikeys outside the window, they didn't see the owner, just us and asked what we were doing. Realising who they were the guy rushes outside to chase them off, followed by us, and then we promptly decided to get the hell out of there. We said we'd return and show him the photos but never did.

That's not a fucking story.

About a grounds keeper.

Or anything.

It's a place. And a year.

It's not a thread asking for a place and a year.

Its a thread asking for stories about grounds keepers.

May as well have said, "kipper, side car".

the owner threatened us with a shot gun, ( even tho I didn't see it)
followed by lots of verbal abuse.
said: I will slash your car tyres if you don't leave immediately,
then took the number plate & said: if I see you again I will trace the car to your house.
awful man

Hearsay then, that always makes a good story (it may have been a sausage roll)

For fucks sake I'm gonna get fat with all the popcorn I'm having to eat at the moment.

Hobbit House is fun. Theres one farmer who's squarely in the utter cunt category, shotguns have been seen (verified as real too) verbal abuse and a lot of being chased off the land.
