I am very lucky to work for a firm that allows me to use the transport
for my own use, by arrangement of course.
A co-worker and me have ferried some lost count of loads of free
manure to the half allotment and to the house.
It is absolultely amazing how many "friends" I could have now!
They think because it is free that they can give me small talk and
perseuade me into giving them some for free.
The word free is a bit misleading. I have to buy the fuel to power
both vehicles, AND the insurance for personal use of 2 of them. Now
that makes it all a bit iffy as to whether it is economical.
For some fat tart to have a go at me with her giant husband, and then
asks for my wares is a big NO.


I hope "wares" isn't a euphemism :-)

As I said, some things never change.


It's best to ignore people like that. The world is full of them.

What do you do with a guy who plants the whole of his allotment with
potatoes and then decides he doesn't want to be a member anymore?


I would say leave them, and reap. There could be a reason for leaving them
though. A human story perhaps. A tragedy. We have all had that!
