G'day GUESTS,

This is a great song that I heard many times from Vin Garbutt, when he visited Australia in the '80s. It was written by a fellow Tyne-sider and was based on the statistic that the average chemical process worker at ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) died at an average of 42 years old.

Given the age at which they started and the normal life expectancy, this meant that every day working at ICI took 2 days of their life!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
