Title: 21st Century Farmer
Post by: Serenity on April 06, 2009, 19:45

This is about a farmer with a small holding in Wales but this tale could be anywhere in Great Britain.

 

The Department of Work & Pensions claimed he was not paying proper wages to his farm hands and sent an Inspector out to interview him.

 

"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the inspector. "Well," replied the farmer, "There's my farm hand who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him £200 a week plus free room and board. There is a lady who cleans and cooks she's been here for 18 months, and I pay her £150 per week plus free room and board."

 

"Then there's the half-wit. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work. He makes about £10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Scotch every Saturday night. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally."

 

"That's the man I want to talk to... the half-wit," says the Inspector.

"That would be me then," was the farmers reply    :rant:
