Today, a JCB press note made me wonder...

....what it would be like to tune in to BBC Radio 4 at 1905 in the evening,
or Sunday morning at 1000, and learn the answers to the following:
Categories of tractor usage
The maximum speed limit for a tractor in the UK
How old one has to be, and what licence one needs, to drive a tractor
The maximum gross vehicle weight allowed for a tractor
How to tax a tractor
Whether one can go on the motorway with a tractor
Whether one needs an operator's licence for a tractor and, if so, what type
and classification
The maximum distance one can travel in a tractor
Whether one can use a tractor for non-agricultural purposes
Whether one can tax a conventional tractor as non-agricultural
When it is right to use red diesel, and when it is necessary to use white
diesel
Whether one can change between agricultural and non-agricultural work, and
so between red and white diesel
Whether one can run twin fuel tanks - one with red diesel and one with white
diesel
What 'plating' is
Whether a tractor and/or trailer needs plating and testing, and who does it
When one needs a tachograph in a tractor
What can't be done if a tractor is classified as non-agricultural
Perhaps, I am becoming tired of The Archers as soap opera, and yearn for The
Archers as everyday story of farming folk...
Er, that's it
