Then me and the boys went up the mountain drank a few cans of Stella. half a dozen bongs each and had a go at flying.

tatsblisters 7,936 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Before I went down the pit in the late 70s I worked for the south Yorkshire canal king Waddington loading barges up with steel billets and potash bulk bags on the fiddle I always envied the barge mens job with its freedom of not having to work with loads of other people. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
