Really intergrating

[Duke Malcolm]

Ugh, the bog...
I had to go there and get turf for my aunt in Donegal during one summer holiday, awful stuff...

So, who DOES get relegated to bog-work, usually?

As Duke found out , relatives coming over for a taste of the auld sod can be really gullible and easily exploited
Or you send the kids when they are old enough but before they get the sense to not do it .
The recent immigrants were a good labour source , but they are getting wise to it now , as the sign showed .

But believe it or not there are some strange people who actually like the work , there are even some real masochists who like it so much they still cut by hand , turning a hard dirty job into a really hard , really dirty , long job .

Personally I havn't touched my stand for the last 3 years , but as I will have some of my nieces and nephews over next summer I might send up them for the hell of it .

Bah, it was forced labour. We were taken out to the *rse of nowhere and told we'll get no dinner unless we cut turf...
