Working timber, a young lad, Gregory, his brother matter of fact
used to play football for Southampton, he got killed on the timber
hoist 'cos they say that when he put the chain underneath he stood
the wrong side and when the timber collapsed he fell and the barge
and the timber came on top of him, and I know that for instance.
You 'ad to 'ave your wits about you. I think timber was one of the
worst things to work that's why when you work timber you never work
timber whilst it was raining, 'cos the ropes we were using they
wouldn't bite with the rain and once it was raining ... and if it
slipped, well you could lose your hoist, see.
