Now that i have six chickens

Am I a classed as a primary producer.

I ask, because it was only yesterday that I got the extra chucks and first thing this morning
the council workers were outside with a grader and graded the verge ( which runs between my place and the road ) down to the drain.
The then tipped fresh gravel and leveled it out.

I haven't put in any customer service requests so can only assume I'm a PP and getting a bit of preferential treatment.

Should I get a couple of rabbits, I hear the Kidman place is up for sale, should I be looking at that.

Can't see why not, on a pension, would take what, only a couple of centuries to pay it off. At least it would be kept in Australian hands.

Not so weird.

Here, I sent an E-Mail to the city (Huntington Beach) saying that the asphalt in front of my house has a lot of cracks. Questioning if the city water supply was leaking. The next day, some one from the city water department is out to check. I see him out there and bring out a bottle of cold spring water to him. We talk and he says that he is going to recommend that the street be repaved.

It gets better.

A guy from the street department comes out and marks the street where sections of asphalt should be replaced using spray paint. I go to the paint store and buy a can of pavement marking spray paint and scratch out a lot of the marks, replacing them with an outline of what should really be repaved. A week later somebody comes by and scratches out some of my marks and repaints. Again I correct the markings.

A week or two later the crew arrives to repave the street. Again with an arm full of bottles of water I go out and talk to the crew boss. I ask her what is going on with all the spray paint markings. She says, this is stupid (Well a bit more colourful than that.) and that this area should be repaved from curb to curb. Her words were it will only take about a ton extra of asphalt which will fit on the truck.

So for about 40 M, the street was repaved curb to curb and not just patched.

What I discovered that treat everyone with respect and nicely. Understand that it is hot, especially repaving with asphalt and provide cold water to the crew. The cold water is more appreciated than beer as they can drink it on the job.

The neighborhood grouch later accosted me demanding to know why my portion of the street was totally repaved while hers was just patched. All I could say was that it probably needed it. LOL!

Would that work?

OK. English is the common language that separates four great countries.
