"I suggest you go and look up and study what the Feudal System meant and how it was run"
I know how the feudal system was run thanks all the same
anf I'nm not advocating a return to a primitive system.
What I was pointing out that the condition of the land was in safer hands then than it is now - nothing more.
I did not suggest that the land was "passed on" in ownership - it was retained and tended for by the same families who worked on it and depended on it and it was respected, even then, by the landowners who owned it.
That is no longer the case with the present owners, as demonstrated in North Norfolk and the Borders.
In the short term, farming may be more efficient for making a quick buck, but that was never what farming was about - what has disappeared is working for the future..
You've never quite got over your strutting habit of talking down to people - please don't lapse back into your old ways.
