Baaa-hahaha.

Baaa-hahaha.

Every week, fans of The Country's Facebook page are bombarded with a post shouting - "It's Sunday Punday!"

For about five years now, on a Sunday morning Facebook word-nerds have revelled in these sometimes clever, often awful, but mostly groan-inducing Dad Jokes.

Most people will agree that 2020 has been tough and laughs have been few and far between, so here at The Country, we've decided to bring a bit of Sunday Punday charm to the website.

However - after reading some of these - "charm" may not be the word most people would reach for.

So, without further ado - here are the top five Sunday Punday puns of 2020.

Number four eavesdropped on this bucolic conversation.
