[QUOTE="Suffolk Serf, post: 7355154, member: 636"] The best "positive bollocking" that I had was when I was a harvest student, working a grain dryer. One hot Saturday afternoon I was having a nap and the farm manager walked in on me and woke me up, "Oh good, you're asleep. That's excellent, that must mean that everything's going really well, all the bins a level full, everything is swept up, the moisture in and out of the dryer has been checked recently and adjusted as necessary, all recorded, the dresser is set up and running correctly and all maintenance is up to date. I'm really pleased that you had time for a sleep!" The man was an utter legend as far as i'm concerned as a man manager, a really good leader of men and was always the first to roll up his sleeves and do any dirty horrible jobs. Having actually managed to do a pretty good job on the dryer in a difficult harvest he brought the farm's owner, a distinguished titled gentleman to see me and thank me. Things like that go a very long way. [/QUOTE]
