A few weeks ago I was talking over a machine problem with a farmer, giving him some ideas on what to check etc. As anyone in the machinery service business will agree, folks wanting your hard earned tech know-how for 'free' is often difficult to resolve, as naturally we all want to be out doing paid work. Anyway today, I received an unexpected gift from said farmer [who I have never met] in gratitude for my help and advice...So faith is restored, and I will hear no more about tight arsed, greedy ungrateful buggers......?

If addressed, will always start any reply with "Well", followed by your Christian name (even if you have never met them) as in "Well Richard, old boy, a rent tribunal is very expense, and you wont win you know" or "Well Richard, old boy, while the Estate would like to help you, things arent so easy for them either. Taxation, you know, has hit The Family really quite hard, and being a Lloyds "name" is no bed of roses either, so you will have to get by with no roof on the farmhouse, for a little longer." "Compensation cheque from Highways England? I believe it came in this morning, cant think why they told you they sent it to me three months ago. I would never sit on a clients money, you know, old boy. Yes I expect having a three lane by pass 200 yards from you front door is a bit of a nuisance, pity my pleas at the Public Inquiry fell on stony ground, what! Still, it has knocked a good 15 minutes of my end of term run up to pick up the boys from school "
