I saw this on twitter earlier.

How times have changed Imagine the uproar if they posted this now

They must be hefty enough to withstand a rough and tumble and must be fairly good looking

My mum, born in the 1920's worked at the pit head in a coal mine during the 1939 - 1945 war

She was graced with the title of "two bucket woman" meaning she could carry two heavy buckets of coal at once - something of a compliment

 

[chillipickle]

Ok hands up who knows what a pit head is?
Don’t cheat and google mr Fred dibnah.

 

[Obadiah Boondoggle]

Sorry cp - forgot you, as a southerner, couldn't be expected to know

Eee by gum lad it's where we northerners keep our flat caps and ferrets

Do you know what a coal mine is?

 

[chillipickle]

Coal mine, isn’t that what you filter your water through befor you make beer

OB I had many a year getting the ***s taken out of my northern accent when I moved south.

what do you mean buz, it’s a bloody bus you idiot

 

[Obadiah Boondoggle]

Well up here, int' north

We use coal (crushed by hand by a couple of hefty girls) instead of Crystal 400

So a coal mine is a local name for a home brew shop

And a pit head is the manager of a home brew shop

I would have thought that was rather obvious

 

[chillipickle]

LOL

Seems AstroTurf is becoming very popular round here.

I’m tempted to order a few bags of grain and get the flat cap on and drive up for a few beers ob
