This is one of my first blogs,
early in 2009. It seems that little has
changed.
Quote:
My favourite uncle had a coal
round, which depended on his horse and cart.
Unluckily, his surplus of
revenue over costs went on racehorses that were much less reliable than the
carthorse.
When the carthorse died; in the
absence of people to give him credit to buy another, his business ended.
He became a manual labourer,
still needing to work into his 80’s because he was short of national insurance
entitlements.
I think a lot of my uncle these
days.

He always said that coal was a
dirty business in any case.

ReplyDeleteThat's funny, so did mine, although I suppose he wasn't my favourite uncle. His surplus revenue over costs went into buying a pub which failed.
