Rich Tea.
The 1977 firemen's strike in Dewsbury (Don’t cross the picket), orange, milk, orange. The same toilet since 1983, them Ladders have seen some graft. Sodden towel and budget cooking served on gingham once again. “The legs are about to go on that chair!” I shout to my gran. Three carpet grips, waterproof jacket and my gran's gardening shoes (can’t wear them for best) I’ve had an obsession with this vac since about 2013. A brick from the old wall, a brick from the new wall, a brick from the house and some broken one from the garden. Al av just a splash in mi tea! Leave tea bag in. Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms is on; Gran asks, “do you want a rich tea”.
