Has West Oxfordshire District Council given you a permit to celebrate Christmas?
If not, Charlie’s probably already faxed them a sternly worded seasonal spreadsheet.
Inspired by the one and only Charlie Ireland – the clipboard-wielding conscience of Clarkson’s Farm – this card captures the true spirit of British Christmas: red tape, risk assessments, and a firmly disapproving headshake. Forget Father Christmas – this year, we’re worshipping the high priest of planning permissions.
With Charlie in his signature khaki coat and Santa hat (the only festive nod he’d allow before formal approval), this card is perfect for fans of the hit series, local politics, or anyone who’s ever tried to build a lambing shed and ended up with a strongly-worded enforcement notice.
🎅 Why you'll love it:
-
A6 size – ideal for popping through the post and on Charlie’s desk for review
-
Printed on beautifully thick card, approved by our imaginary farm manager
-
Blank inside, so you can explain your full proposal for festive joy in triplicate
-
Comes with a white envelope, but sadly not DEFRA sign-off
-
Handmade humour, straight from Diddly Squat (well, not literally, but y’know)
Whether you’re sending it to a fellow Clarkson’s Farm fanatic or just someone who appreciates top-tier sarcasm wrapped in council-flavoured comedy, this is the Christmas card to give.
