Yorkshireman I:

I was happier then and I had nothing! We used to live in this tiny old tumble-down house with great big

holes in the roof.

Yorkshireman II:

House! You were lucky to live in a house! We used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no

furniture, half the floor was missing, we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of falling.

Yorkshireman III:

You were lucky to have a room! We used to have to live in corridor!

Yorkshireman IV:

Oh, we used to dream of living in a corridor! Would have been a palace to us! We used to live in an old

water tank on a rubbish heap. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all

over us! House, huh!

Yorkshireman I:

Well, when I say "house", it was just a hole in the ground, covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was

a house to us!

Yorkshireman II:

We were evicted from our hole in the ground. We had to go and live in a lake!

Yorkshireman III:

You were lucky to have a lake! There were 150 of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road!

Yorkshireman IV:

A cardboard box?

Yorkshireman III:

Ay!

Yorkshireman IV:

You were lucky! We lived for three months in a rolled-up newspaper in a septic tank! We used to have to

get up every morning at six o'clock and clean the newspaper, go to work down at mill, fourteen hours a

day, week in, week out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with

his belt!

Yorkshireman II:

Luxury! We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a

handful of hot gravel, work twenty hours a day at mill, for twopence a month, come home, and dad would

beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

Yorkshireman III:

Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox in the middle of the

night, and lick the road clean with our tongues! We had to eat half a handful of freezing cold gravel, work

twenty-four hours a day at mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our dad would slice

us in two wi' breadknife.

Yorkshireman I:

Right! I had to get up in the morning, at ten o'clock at night, 'alf an hour before I went to bed, eat a

lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill and pay mill-owner for permission to come to

work, and when we got 'ome, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves, singing Hallelujah!

Yorkshireman IV:

Oh, ay. And you try and tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you!

All:

No, no they won't! spacer.gif

It's all about planning. Have everything ready to go when you get up.

More mods = longer you can sleep in for too.

Well you successfully guilt tripped me. Wash and wax.

Oh and half an hour for a wash - splashing a bit of water over a car isn't a wash ;)

Wash car = 2hr min

Wash myself = 2min max

Ha good to know. I think I'm too fussy at times. Old man is a panel beater and had me detailing for him since I was about 8 (child labour anyone?)
