Dangerous thing to be at, but he knew his work well I'd wager. Probably never caused a fire once.

My wife was born in County Carlow in 1951. Very basic happy life…never knew rich people existed and were happy with what they had..how times have changed .going to the seaside for the day was such a treat

My wife (🏴) now, was born in Co. Wexford in 1943. Her father was a farm labourer and they had no mains water in the house, no hot water, no inside toilet and no electricity. Many days each week, all they had to eat were potatoes cooked in the fire and served with milk and possibly home made soda bread if they were lucky. Times were certainly very hard. She left Ireland for England at 18, to get work.

A very honest look at how things used to be. My favourite part was when the man came in and greeted the couple with "God save all here." That was a greeting I remember well. Lets start using these endearing greetings again.

I love the story about the two brothers and the fireside scene and I remember well those days. There was a great sense of togetherness amongst Irish people in those days that is gone now. Probably down to the world has got smaller, Ireland is no longer the isolated island on the edge of Europe, a lot of Irish people got richer and that sense of humour has somewhat gone into the past.

The pipe never left his lips. Is that a clay? Very hard on the teeth in that case. I watched a piece about cutting for hedge fences, he also kept a pipe in this mouth the entire time, even swinging a slasher at the same time. Jaws and teeth of steel!
