Lol, did you take mind-reading lessons while you were away? Of your three
posts today I was going to post exactly the same as two of them.

Don't take the following seriously! I fear you may already have!

You have posted  to a newsgroup set up by
the government to plug the gaps created by the abysmal
failure of their Psychiatric Care in the Community Policy. 
The uk.local hierarchy was devised to provide an outlet for
individuals who would otherwise spending their days sitting
at home wearing an aluminium foil hat waiting for a full moon
to rise. It was hoped that this would reduce the incidence
of nutters out there howling at the moon and frightening the
shit out of their neighbours. Another of HMGs aims and 
objectives was to provide a distraction to take their minds
of the problem of who they were going to knife to death next.
Unfortunately, this group has been taken over by the 
articulate lower middle classes who have succeeding in 
driving HMGs target audience away.Independant research has
shown that it was the amount and quality of the inane drivel,
called small talk which the middle classes are adept at, which
had the effect of doing their heads in. They left to
protect what was left of their sanity. Saddly this has happened
to the whole of uk.local. hierarchy.  

This newsgroup is a very good example of another HMG failure.

Clearly you don't.  And I think your maths is slightly flawed.  You've 
neglected to include a 24 hour security guard 7 days a week - i think you'll 
find the bill for such a luxury a bit higher than £15 per hour.  On top of 
that you want this person to maintain the house... change bulbs, cut the 
grass AND be on hand to run around after you doing your post and i'm sure 
the other things you'll think of once you've got him/her in situ.  I just 
looked up a 24 hour security guard, maintenance man and secretary and its 
not -£15 per hour i'll tell you that.

Is there anything else you want your servant/man-woman friday to do for you? 
Do you have a schedule of responsibilities for this role?

Frankly I don't see a couple of hours a week mowing the lawn in
summer, putting my post in a prepaid envelope and taking it to the
post office weekly and/or changing the lightbulbs once in a while as
being unreasonable for free rent with services included - actually
I've worked the 'package' out and think it will actually be costing me
about £15.00 per hour for a two hour week...!

The farm is between Mayenne and Le Mans [53440].  Mike

coupled with the use of the outbuildings for their own business i reckon 
that is a very fair deal for some enterprising person
