You know that you're a Townie when...
In Lincolnshire the local council will heavily fine farmers who do not clear up mud on the roads. This is not because it will make cars dirty but because mud is slippery when wet and could potentially cause accidents due to skidding. They have to sweep and wash the road until it is clean. They also must put warning signs up stating 'Mud on the Road, slippery when wet'. The fines, I believe, are very high if they do not do this. Personally I don't think this is a 'townie' activity but one of safety.
