No I am afraid not.
You might want to try hanging out in the chill-out room in manumission though.
A few years ago I got talking to a really hot 40 year old woman in there and she asked if I wanted a job as her stable boy. Apparently her husband was away on business alot and she got bored.

I don't know if it's the same program but two years ago we saw a documentary about english chickens. That was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, the manufacturers infiltrate proteins and water to the chicken (when it was already a steak) and when you fried or grilled the chicken all was water around and the steak looked boiled.
Since we saw that documentary we only buy meat from VERY reliable sources

I'm only working for the time being in London so I can earn some serious money, study, get trained up etc. When I'm older there's no way I wanna be in the rat race. My aim is to have a little house on the borders of London somewhere, near the country, with a stable and a little horse, and maybe some pigs/rabbits etc

I don't think it was the same program, this was quite recent.
The program showed you footage of the chicken farms where many chickens got trampled to death and were so fat their legs couldn't support them.
They also analysed how much fat was in the chicken (which gets sold to most of our supermarkets). Let's put it this way chicken is no longer a low fat, high protein choice of meat.
The program also showed how the chicken's legs got burnt from the amonia put on the floor of the farms. The journalist went to all the big supermarket chains and found evidence of this straight away by way of burn marks on the chickens legs.
On the flip side they also went to a farm where the conditions were much better. The chickens looked much healthier with more spare to walk around, despite the fact the farmer had 0.3 million chickens on his farm to any one time
I would definately pay more for poulty if the supermarkets could prove that the animals suffer very little. I say very little because the animals could only be 100% happy in their natural environment which just wouldn't happen in the process of mass production.
Very sad for the 850 million chickens we eat every year.
