You were lucky! Track? Sheer luxury! All we had was a groove in the mud. We used to get up two hours before we went to bed, work for t'Mill owner 24 hours a day, and pay him twice our wages for the nail. And you try and tell the youngsters that today and they won't believe you, they won't!
You had mud?
Oh yes.... "SNORT at anniet"... of course you did!
It was one of my earliest overriding impressions of coming to England... you know... not having to dust yourself off after falling in a river... *remember arriving at Tilbury* ... That and not being speared to the ground by thorns. You people have nails for that after all... as you indeed mentioned.
*supercilious blink* Working as hard as you did for them... it's as if you knew I would be putting them to good use...
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Er, that would be the Thames, one gets a bit wet dipping in that.
Quote:
Tilbury operated as London's passenger liner terminal until the 1960s. For many people Tilbury was their point of emigration to Australia under an assisted passage scheme established and operated by the Australian Government. The 'Ten Pound Poms' as they were known in Australia, embarked on to ships such as RMS Mooltan and set off for a new life. Tilbury was also a port of entry for many immigrants; among them being a large group of West Indians on the Empire Windrush in 1948.

New video from my employer. If you look carefully, you can see me in the background. If you really know what to look for, you can see me again near the end (well, a shape that I recognize as me).

If you say so... but you did lose some bits in a crash awhile ago and this could have been taken before that happened...
