Chapter 2

A Country Practise.

The above name was once a TV soapy in Australia. Phoney in many ways but popular with urbane folk in particular because 80% of our population live within 50 miles of the coast and farming and farmers are a bit of a mystery to them.
Real country practise is basically community support and trust. Monetary wealth is not found here with the exception of corporate ownership.
In my15 years of owning a business the only two questions I asked a new client was their phone number and address. They all paid except those who went bankrupt and I simply wrote their debt off. Bankruptcy is almost always due to drought or low commodity prices which sometimes don’t cover growing costs. Their word or a handshake is always a commitment they have made and will honour.
So I was unaccustomed to dealing with the likes of Howard.
I have been caught three times as a buyer. That is another story which I will follow with and call it Chapter 3.

End of chapter 2.
