'...in the countryside people plough the land, burn refuse, drive diesel-spewing machines, cut down trees, wear high
heels...' David Ritchie does his Michael Palin slot.Actually, as someone living in the countryside, I don't do any of the above and the frequency with which I push a hoover (vacuum cleaner) around the house is a direct function of the volume emitted by my other half requesting that I undertake such a task (weekly usually and not that loud). The majority of what is picked up (we have a Dyson and you can see what needs to be emptied), appears to be a mixture of feline and human hair.
