I thought to myself.............. Let's see what Paul has to say....
UP hill BOTH ways?????? Aren't you exagerating just a bit!
Coal !? Luxury! When I were 'lad, we dreamed of a fire place. Used to get up before we'd gone bed, to break ice off t'weeds fer t'fire. That's when we lived in't hole in't ground.
When I was a boy we had to walk to school in the Minnesota snow two miles, uphill both ways. We were awoken at 3 am, and had to work the fields, before our regular beatings that began at 5 am. We were only allowed one shoe each, and had to hang on to each other and hop alternately from right to left. (Depending on who was wearing which shoe.)
After school, then the real work began. We worked as coal miners for another 18 hours, before the nightly beatings commenced.
And we were damned glad to get them.
The current generation is soft!
Nope, it would snow and the wind would shift the snow banks.I thought to myself.............. Let's see what Paul has to say....

I don't think our overseas pals will understand this very English humour
I love this sketch.
Think yourself lucky.
Down here on the bottom of the world, we've got to hold on just so we don't fall off!
Luxury!Uphill both ways and headwind, shoes with no soles, one trouser leg shorter than the other or longer, depending how you were wearing them, your beatings were nothing, had to beat myself first, with a belt, all this, in a house in which I was born in, which I had to build myself, with no windows, doors or roof, had to live the first few years with no floors, the only heating we had was the warmth after a good beating....
Fridays were best, that's when we had gravel for dinner....
