with no shoes or socks 'cos Dad couldn't afford them, and then walk all

and THEN spend all week-end working down the mine with Dad, and if we
slacked off Dad would beat us to death with 'is belt. Then we'd have to
mow the lawn with scissors cos we couldn't afford the gas for the
mower.And why...? "cos we LIKED it.... Yer know, if you told kids that
t'day, they wouldn't believe yer!!!!!!!!!.....................DK. Old
