Synopsis

Who would be fool enough to waste good money on modern rubbish like nuts and bolts when baling string does the job better? asks smallholder Archie Sparrow, Lancashire s source of all things frugal -some would say tight - who has decided to save the country from bankruptcy by writing down his baling string tips. Archie takes baling string to the level of a Zen master as he contemplates the many uses of this oft overlooked resource and recommends you take along a selection of colours (green for John Deere, red for Massey Ferguson) to help you decide on your next tractor. Irrelevant facts like horse power and sat nav are all too often used by roguish salesmen adept at the black arts of deception. Ask them will the paint work match my baling string and if the answer is yes then sign on the dotted line, after heavy negotiation, of course!! Archie s use of this valuable resource doesn t stop in the farmyard. It can be, he suggests, used for clothing (vests and thongs), everyday household items and even livening up the marital bedroom! So if you want to save some shillings and make use of that baling string you bought in 1972, use Archie s book as your reference and inspiration.
