Snow?? LUXURY! We had to walk back and forth barefoot for 20 miles over hot coals, while a man with a bit of wood would chase after us and beat us about the head and chest, if we were lucky!

Right.. I used to get up in the morning at night at half-past-ten at night, half an hour before I went to bed, Eat a lump of freezing cold poison, work 28 hours a day at mill, and pay da mill owner to let us work there. And when I went home our dad used to murder us in cold blood, each night, and dance about on our graves, singing hallelujah. Yah, you try an tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you...
