[QUOTE="cowsmart, post: 4814730, member: 78318"] Example...years ago in Lancashire I was working as a dairyman on a small herd...detached bungalow half way down the farm drive. My wife and I were sat watching the TV and we heard the front door shut..3 young kids asleep in bed, we went to check on them and noticed the bathroom door locked and the shower running..10 minutes later out walks the boss..'What are you doing?' I asked..'My shower is not working so I am using yours' I replied 'But its my house'..'no he said its my house and my shower'....I shouted to the wife to start packing....And I bet alot of other farm workers who live in tied accommodation can say similar things have happened to them...I have been rung up half way through a holiday on another farm to get back to work or lose my house....I was threatened to lose my house after not feeding calves, when I never fed the calves and the boss had forgot..pee'd up........In tied accommodation some farmers do treat you like slaves and not like employees.....It is not an offensive comment when used in this instance, it is a true comment...
