0:13:40 > 0:13:41- I was the last one around here.- - You didn't need bobbies.
0:13:41 > 0:13:41- You didn't need bobbies.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43- Road workers saw everything.
0:13:43 > 0:13:43- Road workers saw everything.- - That's right.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44- That's right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Water drained away instead - of staying on the road surface.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- I remember Mary in the shop - and in chapel and Sunday School.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- The shop is still open.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56- The shop is still open.- - Yes.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- Yes.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02- Dairy Maids.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Mam would say, - "You can't have them."
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- "But I want them!"
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- I got angry - and Mam would take me outside...
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Mam lived to a ripe old age.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- She came from Tal-y-bont - in Ceredigion originally.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- She kept her Tal-y-bont accent - until the very end.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- We're off to Rhandir Uchaf Farm now.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Dewi, Dilys and Gwen lived here.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Dewi and his family live here now.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- There's no-one home.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Dewi!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- You look very smart.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41- Dilys.
0:14:41 > 0:14:41- Dilys.- - Hello.

0:14:44 > 0:14:44- Trefor.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- How are you? Nice to see you.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- I know Dai, of course!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- I remember - you used to play the cello.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- A cello was a rare thing - in Llangwyryfon.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- It was heavy to carry too.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Mrs Andrews made me a sling - to carry it...
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- ..so I didn't drag it - along the road.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- That didn't do the cello any good.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- I had to practise in the cowshed, - not in the house.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- Very good.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- This is where we came - every morning.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- We played ball. - Do you remember the ash heap?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- We'd race over it - and slide down on zinc sheeting.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- We had lots of fun - in the old coal shed.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- I remember a bat behind the door.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- That's where I first saw - a rabbit with myxomatosis.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- It sat there on the step.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- The bat was up there.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Let's go inside.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- I'm glad it's still open.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04- The old school.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- The old school.- - It hasn't changed much.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06- It hasn't changed much.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Mrs Andrews was here.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Boys came in through there - and girls through there.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- A double bass stood there.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23- I spent most of my time at school - sitting here facing the wall.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- I remember being given lines.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Lines in English - English - was more difficult than Welsh.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- "Rudeness shows weakness - not strength."
0:16:35 > 0:16:36- I'll never forget that!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- The garden was out there.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- I remember that retired teacher - from Trefenter...
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- ..telling you, "Young man, - your English is atrocious."
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- And you replied, "My English - is better than your Welsh."
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- She went back into the house!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- It's important - to keep these schools open.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Imagine how many people - feel just like us.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- They'd like to visit - their old school.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- You're right.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- And their fathers before them.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Those benches are old, I'm sure.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- They're not as old as us.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17- They're not as old as us.- - No. Nothing is as old as you!
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- No. Nothing is as old as you!
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- The little school and Tabor chapel - were important places for us.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- We are what we are thanks to them.
0:17:33 > 0:17:39- Do you remember hearing the singing - in summer when the doors were open?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Standing here, worrying - whether you were in trouble.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- Tabor, the old chapel. - You haven't seen it for 50 years.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- I got up to do the milking - on Sunday mornings.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- We milked 18 cows by hand.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Then I'd swallow a cup of tea - and some toast...
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- ..run upstairs to get changed, - then run all the way to chapel.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Just before I got to the mill, - you'd pass in a cart.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- When I had breakfast, - you were still in bed.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Waving like the Queen!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- I was always there before you.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- I was always there before you.- - That's what you always wanted.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- That's what you always wanted.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- I didn't have much choice.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- I didn't want to catch a cold.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29- Let's walk on.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- It hasn't changed a bit.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Remember this old wall?
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- All the boys - sat on the wall looking down...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- ..and discussing the week's events.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- The women gathered in clusters - like bees around the door.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- That's where I first sang - - in that vestry.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- At the time, I never imagined - I would travel around so much.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Good gracious.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- Let's see if you can remember - which was Tyncefn's pew.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- I think I do.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07- This hasn't changed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- This is exactly - the way it used to be.
0:19:13 > 0:19:13- Now then.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14- Now then.- - I remember it well.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- I remember it well.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- Where was Tyncefn's pew?
0:19:16 > 0:19:17- Where was Tyncefn's pew?- - Here.
0:19:17 > 0:19:17- Here.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- This was Tyncefn's pew.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- I remember a preacher asking us - questions during Sunday School.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Our class answered well.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- He thought the children of Tabor - knew their Bible well.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- But, fair play, old John Owen... - Evans, the teacher...
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- ..used to bring a pound - of Blue Bird toffee with him.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- He gave us a sweet - if we answered correctly.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51- Here you are in Tabor chapel, - 46 years after your last visit.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Yes, at least.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- If just one visit can bring - forgiveness for such a lapse...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- ..things can't be that bad.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Let's move on, - or we'll be running late.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Excellent.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10- Come on, Trefor.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Some things never change.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- It was always "Come on, Trefor" - when he was young too.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- But he always arrived in good time.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Trefor seemed to have nine days - in a week...
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- ..whereas I never had time - for anything.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- I wonder what he's like at farming.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- THE DOGS BARK
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Fetch the dosing pump from the shed.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- You can do that.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- You're opening the door - the wrong way!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Calm down, calm down!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Where's this drug?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Drugs - where are the drugs?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10- These?
0:21:10 > 0:21:10- These?- - Trefor! Trefor!

0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Trefor!
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- Stay on the road in case they go - towards the house.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Is this the right one?
0:21:24 > 0:21:25- Is this the right one?- - Don't hold it like that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26- Don't hold it like that.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- You look like Clint Eastwood!
0:21:29 > 0:21:30- Stay there, stay there.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32- Stay there.
0:21:32 > 0:21:32- Stay there.- - "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- "Do you feel lucky, punk?"
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Come by. Stay there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Whay, whay, whay, whay.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41- Come by.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Stop messing around, - the dog will bite your backside.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46- Stand, stand.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Oh, who opened that gate?!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- That's how dogs - are supposed to work.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58- In you go.
0:21:58 > 0:21:58- In you go.- - I'm not a dog.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59- I'm not a dog.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01- I know you're not.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03- Right, that'll do.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Go round there - and get in behind them.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Close the gate behind you.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- Give it a shake.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- Give it a shake.- - Wait a minute.

0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Let me tell you, this is far - more difficult than driving a taxi.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Driving a taxi - is like wheeling a wheelbarrow.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- If you say so, Dai!

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- He wanted to go - to Kensington Palace.

0:25:59 > 0:26:04- He said, "Can you give me a hand?" - "Yes, no problem."
0:26:04 > 0:26:10- I went into the Palace, and a voice - said, "Who's there? Who's there?"
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- Tony said, - "It's alright, dear. It's only me."
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Then she said, "Well, don't make - a noise. Goodnight."
0:26:18 > 0:26:19- And that was it.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21- Who was she?
0:26:21 > 0:26:21- Who was she?- - Princess Margaret.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22- Princess Margaret.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- I don't get much trouble.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- It happens sometimes, but you learn.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- At night, you give them - the 25-yard test.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- You stop 25 yards - in front of them...
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- ..then watch in the mirror - to see how they walk.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- If they can't walk properly, - you drive away.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53- You leave them?
0:26:53 > 0:26:53- You leave them?- - Yes, and they go, "Oh, you... !"
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Yes, and they go, "Oh, you... !"
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- You have to do it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Do you get Welsh people?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Yes. There were four old women.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- I picked them up from Selfridges.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- They wanted to go to Harrods.
