Thread Name: Lyr Req: Three Foot Seam (from Gary & Vera Aspey)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Workin in the three foot seam
2ft seams? BLOODY luxury. When I was a lad we had to work in seams so small we had t'take our arms legs and heads off to just get in 'em. We had to work 42 hours a day with no breaks, retire at 176 and pay t'pit owner for the right to work! Pit head baths? HAH! All we had were a small stoat to lick us clean wi'it's tongue.
Tell the kids nowadays and they don't belive yer...
