If you consider briefly highlighting the relevant parts of your experience to a potential employer as "fucking shit" , then perhaps you are unsuitable for the role being offered.

Total opposite here. If you can't be bothered with a simple cover letter (a paragraph or two is fine) highlighting why you are a good fit and just send a CV..... Frankly, it comes across as low effort spamming.

You are either trolling, or utterly clueless when it comes to fell walking. (Perhaps sir would like to search 'Ordnance Survey Maps').

I recall when I first visited the USA and walked into an American bookshop... ... the selves of 'self-help' books I found utterly bizarre. It was very much an eye-opener into the differences of our cultures.
