You lucky bastards!  I had to sleep in shoe box in middle o' road, and
every night, we used to go down t' pit where we were paid 6d for 25 hours
work, and when we got home, our father would slice us in two wi' bread
knife, and dance about on our graves.  And you tell that to the young
people today, and they simply don't believe you!

Loosely plagiarised from "The Yorkshiremen" (C) Monty Python 1974.
