When I was a kid I walked five miles up to the school and five miles up the hill on the way back. I relished the rain because it was the only fresh water I got all week to wash off the mud from cleaning out the stables and the pig pens.

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing ‘Hallelujah.’

MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won’t believe ya’.

ALL: Nope, nope..
