Wasn't all happy toil, in the olden days.
Many would spend a good part of the day bent over double.
Or on their knees.

Don't jump to conclusions.
Many were just good pals.
Or lost someone in the war.
Like Ted Heath.

Steady on.
He prefered a suede slip-on, rather than being clod in something stout.
He lost 'someone special' in the war.
Hence being returned to Heaven's sorting office untampered with.
Allegedly.
His only comfort being that he was able to sit in bed, and enjoy viewing the biggest spire in Englandshire.
