I hope he never got paid for scything. It's an easy job (compared with a lot of others that could be done on Leaf Street) and though there's a problem if jobs aren't getting done voluntarily, that's the issue that needs to be dealt with. Paying people on an ad hoc basis for jobs that they should be interested in doing out of a sense of community or because they walk through Leaf Street and appreciate it is wrong and they're just takers. If Ben had done loads on Leaf Street before that'd be one thing, but there's too many people round here who are just on the make, though they might have some huge van and think they're a bit alternative because they fly to Spain regularly and hang out with other Brits taking drugs!!
money for scything?!
