Aye, well. Reckon as mebbe. Good thing about t’north of t’country is that tha workers know where t’stand. T’women go t’mill and t’men go t’mines. Mind, that said you mun ken that there ‘ave been changed o’late – Fayther cut t’hours of t’women int’mill t’just seventeen a-shift, so that they could get t’home and cook t’meal ready for t’husband when pit hooter blows. We’re more enlightened up north than feminists think.
