Turn to page three of this week's Countryman's Weekly and it's very clear that silly season is upon us.
In an article headed 'League chief seeks advice from the Countryside Alliance', they say:
Douglas Batchelor, Chief Executive of the League Against Cruel Sports, is pictured outside the Countryside Alliance stand at the CLA Game Fair where he is clearly debating an issue of significant importance with, amongst others, Tim Bonner, the Alliance's head of media.
As the League have been subscribers to The Countryman's Weekly for a number of years but have declined the offer of a free gift - which includes a cartridge belt, a game bag, or a knife - we wondered whether he was seeking advice over what might be the most use to him or his organisation.
Well, sorry to disappoint chaps, but he was being recorded for Radio 4's Farming Today. And we won't be renewing our subscription to CW; our media monitoring subscription means we don't have to give you any more of our money.
As for the free gift, the game bag sounds interesting. What games are in it?
