Payment in kind?

[Burnerman]

Working for the average Northumbrian farmer is generally not a good idea if you intend to die rich.
Job 1) 'Me front door doesn't shut' - spent 1/2 hour adjusting the keep (successfully).....Quote ' I'll see ya all right' Reward - a bottle of Baileys Cream (opened, 1/3rd drunk and crusty round the rim)
Job 2) 'Can ye fit a timing belt to me Transit'? Reward - a bag of tomatoes every week during the summer - (I'll pay for the bits, mind)
I think I'll get M U G tattoed across my forehead

LOL. In fairness though, money is simply a way of exchanging goods and services in a unified fashion - "one good turn deserves another" and if you priced up the value of what they gave you, how much short would it have been?

Farmers, as tight as a nuns crutch!

Reminds me of working for a company in West London (Southall IIRC). Fixed a 'Sunny D' (all gas men will know what I mean') 4.4 kilos of coleslaw..... every 2 weeks for a year.
I was freezing it, selling it, eating it. Every relative I had in a 20 mile radius who liked colwslaw was on speed-dial . Compost.... god I was tempted to make fireworks out of it if was clever enough. It was bleeding awful, especialy as the owner of the company 'Jay' would always call to make sure I got it.

Hey Burnerman, don't look a gift horse in the mouth!
You never know when you might need a ton of manure dumping on a non-paying customer's front lawn
