I don't think (inc) parents were overly strict. Trust me (inc) and they weren 't afraid to put a boot on your arse.

You know how many times (inc) his boot right down me arse. You-know?

Yep, and I worked there for seven years after that and ah- ah, was a sign painter. Um and in that seven years got married and had a- ah had a daughter. And ah, it was a good thing my dad kicked my arse out of the house, and- he didn't kick me out, kick me out...

Ah, grade school- well, early schooling was you-know, you went to school, you did your thing. If not, you got a boot in the arse.

And he- he was a- he was cross with us and he says, "Put those socks on. Get off your arse and start walking home 'cause that's the only way you'll get there, eh?" And so the guy he- he s-- and ah, we got home, we got- we- we came across the slimes and we had the- the one guy who fell through, he had to go to the hospital, eh?

And h-- how he became crippled- father got mad at him one day and hit him a- went to hit him a kick in the arse when he was going part-way down the stairs. And he caught him too high. And he got him just on the bottom vertebrae and he broke his back.

Speaker: I know that I got to be home at five-o'clock for supper, or else, you-know I'll get a kick in the arse. And ah that's it. That's the way it goes.

But he's not too loud but- and his language is kind-of funny um well he doesn't swear too much in front of me, but he'll say words like "Arse," and-stuff-like-that. Like "Oh I just fell on my arse," something that's funny.

Well, instead of like "ass" he'd say "arse" I-don't-know, just- or instead of "bum" and um yeah. So he worked at the mine and then he was a teacher at the school too, at K-L-C-V-I, that was the old school here.

And the other one would kick the other one in the arse and just tear him wide open.

And they said (coughs)- one lad asked the other, "You got any butter?" He said, "Yes." "Give Missus-so-and-so a pound and tell her to grease her arse and get off the line."
