who mentioned money? i for one would hope that the favour would be returned for emergency care as this was supposed to be.

This should be excersise that is good for relationships and food for the soul not a cash cow.

I will now get down from my soap box

Ellisr,
I agree with you that this shouldn't be about money.

I think the intention of the original mail was about being good neighbours in times of emergency. I hope I never need to call on the services but it would be good to know there was someone out there if I were in dire straits.

i did mean favour, not money. however should i be called upon to help out, if perchance there was a fry's turkish delight left in a feed bin........
no, no money or payment. there are plenty of peeps out there who do that anyway, but it's sods law that when (past experience here) your appendix burst and your friends have run for the hills, you are also skint at the same time. that way everyone can ask for help and not feel as though they have to find payment.

Frys turkish delight... yuk   
It may not be to my taste but you could rely on me buying you a stash if ever you came to my place

CA8, usually busy on our own farm but would help out with hand-milking a cow if anyone was stuck, and would always be happy to show anyone what to do (and/or do my best to answer any questions to do with) dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, ponies, cattle, ducks, pigs.  I also have two working collies if anyone needed help moving sheep.

The most important thing for any of us might be to make sure our families know how to get on TAS to rustle up both the local helpers and the virtual ones!
