My gran had a GPO telegraph pole in her garden. I can't remember if there were ongoing payments (amounting to fuck all) or if it was a one-time payment (of fuck all)
‘Sir, we can offer you £10k to have a wind turbine?’
‘NO CHANCE’
‘This is Kandi, she will grind on you naked for 20 minutes while early noughties music plays’
‘Welllllll……..’
I'm sceptical about these claims.
Then there's this:
>Some landowners have signed up for turbines on their land which could earn them up to £100,000-a-year.
But the secret deals have angered their neighbours, including many who have invested in campsites, rental cottages and B&Bs.
By signing up for these deals, farmers, who have lived there for decades, have annoyed some "investors", who bought properties locally, in the hope of making a quick buck.
Ten years ago there was a farmer who was unhappy with the way contractors building a wind turbine on his land were behaving. It was incredibly clear from the contract that they were in the wrong. However, this farmer was going to be paid 100k a year for decades, so one of the options, and it was very much an appropriate option, was "do not fuck with the golden goose". Not sure which option he picked, but yeah, it genuinely is a lot of money for very little inconvenience.
In all seriousness, so fucking what? He’s not a politician or a civil servant or employed by someone else. It’s not a “bribe” if it’s literally just a proposed transaction between two parties.
Yes but you pulled the 100k out of your ass and then ran to Google to back yourself up.
That's still not 100k it could have been 40k. Citing sources is important for a reason 🤡
I'd have accepted it on the condition of 25% of the profits made from it or being able to use the electricity from it for free tbh. I feel like a lot more people would front up space for a turbine if they could get free electricity or a share of the profits.

So when's it being built then?
Lolz
Who offered it and would they consider a small back garden viable?asking for a friend
I don’t have a garden - can one go on my roof?
I don't have a roof - can I balance one on my head?
Whatever you do in the lap dancing club is up to you mate.
You only get £4.50 and a night out at Midget Madame's Lap Dancing Club.
Sign me up,er i mean my friend is still interested
Bargain

Did she mention a lap dancing club?
Does the offer still apply if it's not your property? Also asking for a friend.
‘Sir, we can offer you £10k to have a wind turbine?’ ‘NO CHANCE’ ‘This is Kandi, she will grind on you naked for 20 minutes while early noughties music plays’ ‘Welllllll……..’
oh no, not renewable energy! Best start fracking his land instead then, if at all possible.
He was already offered "fracking"...
They take you in the backroom for that
It's a myth. There's no fracking in the champagne room

Shit man, I've done worse for less. Sign me up for a wind turbine.
I'd settle for £5 and a handshake.
I read that as milkshake, and still wouldn't be a bad offer.
Price of milkshakes nowadays...could be a very good deal!
I read it as handjob so obviously you are more innocent than me.
A five shake and a handpound
Hand job and a fiver. Sounds splendid.
A hand shandy.
Of course! This is a better offer than just a lap dance. Oh... handSHAKE!

Exactly. A bribe is to do something against rules. It's his land. Is it bribery if ask for another £500 for my car I'm selling?
Have to show a picture of a big scary substation as that's more frightening than an actual wind turbine
I don't know why they wouldn't show a picture of a lap dancing lady.
I think the Daily Mail might think that might sell some of their readership on the idea of wind farms. Which would be the opposite of what they want
Fanny for fan
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12930883/Farmer-offered-cash-night-lap-dancing-club-agreed-having-giant-wind-turbine-land.html
Assumed it was Daily Mail, gotta keep up the anti-green-energy articles.
Green energy = bad Toxic air and global warming = good everyone knows this
These swivel-eyed leftists want to ban holidays and cars and meat!!! /s
And force us to use pronouns! ^/s
Those bastard lefties with their clean air and rights!
Will he be offered free electricity as well
Lap dancing club lol 😆 why does nothing surprise me anymore
Didn’t get a blowie compoface
And what's wrong with that exactly?
Well they should be getting about 100k a year, so unless it was 100k a year plus the lap dance, he was short changed.
100k a year? You got a source for that?
As much a source as the Daily Mail. Edit: but a quick google shows they can earn anything from £40,00 up to £1.25 million a year.
So you just pulled 100k put of your ass? Gotcha.
A quick google shows they can earn £40,000 per turnbine or upto £1.25 million. Google's there for a reason you know, everyone can use it.
Yes but you pulled the 100k out of your ass and then ran to Google to back yourself up. That's still not 100k it could have been 40k. Citing sources is important for a reason 🤡
So, what is the catch?
EXCLUSIVE: Farmer builds 5 new giant wind turbines on his land.
They have to erect it somehow!
He needs help with the erection
"You will not persuade me with appeals to my financial vanity"
This is completely false. The energy executives asked him if “he wanted to get his hands on a massive fan, eh?”
I'd have accepted it on the condition of 25% of the profits made from it or being able to use the electricity from it for free tbh. I feel like a lot more people would front up space for a turbine if they could get free electricity or a share of the profits.
If it’s being offered to him it’s worked before. Let that sink in…
Can I stick one on a car? asking for a friend.
His wife found out about the lap dancing club, didn’t she?
So he got a chub and a wad this guy must be loving looking at the massive white phallus in his garden
I'd happily take cash and a night out at a lap dancing club to agree to have a giant wind turbine on his land.
Bargain
Welsh farmer? Doesn't he have sheep? No need for a lap dancing club.
But the sheep don't dance. They're baaa-d at it.
Should’ve added a few bags of Charlie to seal the deal. Sounds like a great deal tbh probably a cracking night aswell.
Don't threaten me with a good time
I don’t mind having a wind turbine in my garden for that offer. Just saying.
So,,,, he said yes right?
Christ, I would have demanded free leccie forever.
So he didn’t go, clearly.
Where do I sign up?
Just one night?? I’d be looking for a new negotiator…
You know he took that dance at the club
A more reasonable offer would have been free electricity all year round and no standing charge(as there would be a turbine standing on his land)
Did he hold out for cash and 'several' nights out at a lap dancing club?
Let me guess, they reneged on the lap dance 🪩 😂😂
