-some of the sights...

0:01:220:01:25

-..and we'll revisit some old haunts.

0:01:260:01:28

-We'll also travel overseas

-to his current home in Spain.

0:01:290:01:33

-Mam and Dad kept a shop in London

-like many other Cardiganshire folk.

0:01:340:01:39

-They moved there during the War

-in order to sell milk.

0:01:390:01:44

-Kingsdown Road, Holloway, N19,

-was our original home.

0:01:440:01:47

-This is the shop.

0:01:480:01:50

-It's no longer there.

0:01:500:01:52

-Good gracious.

0:02:040:02:05

-This is the yard

-where the bottles were kept.

0:02:060:02:09

-And the barrows.

0:02:100:02:11

-And the barrows.

-

-Barrows in the yard.

0:02:110:02:11

-Barrows in the yard.

0:02:110:02:12

-used to play a game.

0:02:130:02:17

-Knocking on doors and running away!

0:02:170:02:19

-Knocking on doors and running away!

-

-Knock-down Ginger.

0:02:190:02:20

-Knock-down Ginger.

0:02:200:02:21

-The barrows came in this way

-and went out that way.

0:02:220:02:26

-The shop was over there.

-It's gone completely now.

0:02:270:02:30

-That's sad.

0:02:310:02:32

-They worked long hours.

0:02:330:02:35

-The boys left the yard each morning

-at 5.00am to do the milk round.

0:02:350:02:41

-They were busy until 1.00pm.

0:02:410:02:43

-They returned at 1.00pm. The shop

-closed between 1.00pm and 2.00pm.

0:02:440:02:49

-Mam, and Dad...

0:02:490:02:51

-Dad would slice ham and bacon

-every evening before going to bed...

0:02:520:02:57

-..because Mam was too short

-to reach the slicer.

0:02:570:03:01

-She opened the shop at 7.00am.

0:03:010:03:04

-She did two rounds

-before opening the shop.

0:03:040:03:07

-the same as everyone else.

0:03:080:03:11

0:03:130:03:14

-with their steps.

0:03:170:03:20

-one Thursday.

0:03:380:03:41

-the Labour party.

0:03:410:03:44

-The Labour candidate came round,

-knocked on the door...

0:03:460:03:50

-..and said, "I'm looking

-for your support, Mr Jones."

0:03:500:03:54

-Dad said, "I've already done my duty

-by you today..."

0:03:540:03:58

-"..but you can give me a lift

-to Hornsey."

0:03:580:04:02

-The Labour candidate

-took him to Hornsey in his car!

0:04:020:04:06

-You can spot the talker

-in our family!

0:04:070:04:10

-My father was the London

-bowls champion for many years.

0:04:100:04:15

-were sent at a young age...

0:04:230:04:26

0:04:570:04:59

-Sunday School, the village school,

0:05:000:05:03

-and I stayed here.

0:05:030:05:07

-I could never return to London.

0:05:080:05:10

0:05:540:05:57

-I was sitting in the back.

0:05:570:05:59

-Uncle Morgan and the horse

-were coming up.

0:06:000:06:03

-from the Wild West.

0:06:040:06:07

-Ecstasy.

0:07:090:07:11

-I remember Uncle Morgan

-calling for you, "Trefor!"

0:07:120:07:15

-out the back or something.

0:07:150:07:20

-"Come and watch

0:07:200:07:24

0:07:570:07:58

-pipe and hit the back of the toilet.

0:08:020:08:09

-There was Trefor with his trousers

-around his knees among the carrots!

0:08:090:08:14

0:10:110:10:13

-I remember coming home from school

-and seeing him wiring the house.

0:10:130:10:18

-For years - well, for days -

-I was scared to touch a switch...

0:10:180:10:23

-..in case I got a shock.

0:10:230:10:26

-I'm still scared of electric fences.

0:10:260:10:29

-You got a shock

-from an electric fence.

0:10:290:10:32

-It was your fault.

0:10:330:10:34

-I had toothache...

0:10:350:10:37

-..and he said,

-"Go down to the hay meadow..."

0:10:370:10:41

-"..where the electric fence is..."

0:10:410:10:44

-"..and grab the electric fence,

-and the toothache will go away."

0:10:450:10:50

-But the toothache persisted.

0:10:520:10:54

-I went back to the shed -

-the new shed...

0:10:550:10:58

-..and stuck two wires into the plug.

0:11:000:11:03

-Into the plug.

0:11:030:11:05

-I got a metal jug with water in it.

0:11:050:11:09

-Switched it on.

0:11:090:11:10

-I was thrown

-all the way back to the wall!

0:11:120:11:16

-And I still

-had the bloody toothache!

0:11:160:11:19

-I'd only done what he told me!

0:11:190:11:22

0:13:060:13:10

-..and take them back

-through customs.

0:13:110:13:13

-They think I've got drugs.

0:13:130:13:16

-No wonder Idris is looking well.

-He eats good, fresh food.

0:13:160:13:20

-Here's Idris and Mary.

0:13:200:13:22

-How are you?

0:13:220:13:24

-Do you know who this is?

0:13:240:13:26

-Do you know who this is?

-

-We know Trefor.

0:13:260:13:27

-We know Trefor.

0:13:270:13:27

-Nice to meet you.

0:13:270:13:29

-Idris worked on the road.

0:13:310:13:33

-No-one does that these days.

0:13:330:13:35

-It's a great loss to Welsh villages.

0:13:360:13:39

-I was the last one around here.

0:13:390:13:40

-I was the last one around here.

-

-You didn't need bobbies.

0:13:400:13:41

-You didn't need bobbies.

0:13:410:13:41

-Road workers saw everything.

0:13:420:13:43

-Road workers saw everything.

-

-That's right.

0:13:430:13:43

-That's right.

0:13:430:13:44

-Water drained away instead

-of staying on the road surface.

0:13:440:13:48

-I remember Mary in the shop

-and in chapel and Sunday School.

0:13:490:13:54

-The shop is still open.

0:13:540:13:55

-The shop is still open.

-

-Yes.

0:13:550:13:56

-Yes.

0:13:560:13:57

-You sold Dairy Maids toffees.

0:13:570:14:00

-Yes.

0:14:000:14:01

-Yes.

-

-Dairy Maids.

0:14:010:14:01

-Dairy Maids.

0:14:010:14:02

-Mam would say,

-"You can't have them."

0:14:030:14:06

-"But I want them!"

0:14:060:14:08

-I got angry

-and Mam would take me outside...

0:14:080:14:12

-Mam lived to a ripe old age.

0:14:130:14:16

-She came from Tal-y-bont

-in Ceredigion originally.

0:14:160:14:20

-She kept her Tal-y-bont accent

-until the very end.

0:14:200:14:25

-We're off to Rhandir Uchaf Farm now.

0:14:250:14:28

-Dewi, Dilys and Gwen lived here.

0:14:280:14:31

-Dewi and his family live here now.

0:14:310:14:34

-There's no-one home.

0:14:340:14:36

-Dewi!

0:14:360:14:38

-You look very smart.

0:14:380:14:40

-Dilys.

0:14:400:14:41

-Dilys.

-

-Hello.

0:14:410:14:41

-Hello.

0:14:410:14:42

-I've brought a visitor.

0:14:420:14:43

-I've brought a visitor.

-

-Trefor.

0:14:430:14:44

-Trefor.

0:14:440:14:44

-How are you? Nice to see you.

0:14:440:14:47

-I know Dai, of course!

0:14:470:14:49

-I remember

-you used to play the cello.

0:14:500:14:54

-A cello was a rare thing

-in Llangwyryfon.

0:14:550:14:58

-It was heavy to carry too.

0:14:590:15:01

-Mrs Andrews made me a sling

-to carry it...

0:15:020:15:06

-..so I didn't drag it

-along the road.

0:15:070:15:10

-That didn't do the cello any good.

0:15:100:15:14

-I had to practise in the cowshed,

-not in the house.

0:15:140:15:18

-Very good.

0:15:210:15:22

-This is where we came

-every morning.

0:15:260:15:29

-We played ball.

-Do you remember the ash heap?

0:15:290:15:33

-We'd race over it

-and slide down on zinc sheeting.

0:15:330:15:38

-We had lots of fun

-in the old coal shed.

0:15:380:15:42

-I remember a bat behind the door.

0:15:420:15:45

-That's where I first saw

-a rabbit with myxomatosis.

0:15:460:15:49

-It sat there on the step.

0:15:500:15:52

-The bat was up there.

0:15:520:15:54

-Let's go inside.

0:15:540:15:56

-I'm glad it's still open.

0:16:000:16:02

-The old school.

0:16:030:16:04

-The old school.

-

-It hasn't changed much.

0:16:040:16:05

-It hasn't changed much.

0:16:050:16:06

-Mrs Andrews was here.

0:16:060:16:09

-Boys came in through there

-and girls through there.

0:16:100:16:13

-A double bass stood there.

0:16:150:16:17

-I spent most of my time at school

-sitting here facing the wall.

0:16:170:16:23

-I remember being given lines.

0:16:230:16:25

-Lines in English - English

-was more difficult than Welsh.

0:16:250:16:29

-"Rudeness shows weakness

-not strength."

0:16:300:16:34

-I'll never forget that!

0:16:350:16:36

-The garden was out there.

0:16:370:16:39

-I remember that retired teacher

-from Trefenter...

0:16:390:16:42

-..telling you, "Young man,

-your English is atrocious."

0:16:420:16:47

-And you replied, "My English

-is better than your Welsh."

0:16:470:16:51

-She went back into the house!

0:16:520:16:55

-It's important

-to keep these schools open.

0:16:560:16:59

-Imagine how many people

-feel just like us.

0:17:000:17:03

-They'd like to visit

-their old school.

0:17:030:17:06

-You're right.

0:17:060:17:08

-And their fathers before them.

0:17:090:17:11

-Those benches are old, I'm sure.

0:17:110:17:14

-They're not as old as us.

0:17:140:17:16

-They're not as old as us.

-

-No. Nothing is as old as you!

0:17:160:17:17

-No. Nothing is as old as you!

0:17:170:17:19

-The little school and Tabor chapel

-were important places for us.

0:17:230:17:28

-We are what we are thanks to them.

0:17:280:17:32

-Do you remember hearing the singing

-in summer when the doors were open?

0:17:330:17:39

-Standing here, worrying

-whether you were in trouble.

0:17:390:17:42

-Tabor, the old chapel.

-You haven't seen it for 50 years.

0:17:440:17:49

-I got up to do the milking

-on Sunday mornings.

0:17:490:17:53

-We milked 18 cows by hand.

0:17:540:17:57

-Then I'd swallow a cup of tea

-and some toast...

0:17:570:18:01

-..run upstairs to get changed,

-then run all the way to chapel.

0:18:020:18:07

-Just before I got to the mill,

-you'd pass in a cart.

0:18:070:18:12

-When I had breakfast,

-you were still in bed.

0:18:120:18:16

-Waving like the Queen!

0:18:160:18:18

-I was always there before you.

0:18:180:18:20

-I was always there before you.

-

-That's what you always wanted.

0:18:200:18:21

-That's what you always wanted.

0:18:210:18:22

-I didn't have much choice.

0:18:220:18:25

-I didn't want to catch a cold.

0:18:250:18:28

-Let's walk on.

0:18:280:18:29

-It hasn't changed a bit.

0:18:310:18:33

-Remember this old wall?

0:18:330:18:35

-All the boys

-sat on the wall looking down...

0:18:360:18:40

-..and discussing the week's events.

0:18:400:18:42

-The women gathered in clusters

-like bees around the door.

0:18:420:18:46

-That's where I first sang -

-in that vestry.

0:18:470:18:51

-At the time, I never imagined

-I would travel around so much.

0:18:520:18:56

-Good gracious.

0:18:570:18:58

-Let's see if you can remember

-which was Tyncefn's pew.

0:18:580:19:03

-I think I do.

0:19:030:19:05

-This hasn't changed.

0:19:060:19:07

-This is exactly

-the way it used to be.

0:19:090:19:12

-Now then.

0:19:130:19:13

-Now then.

-

-I remember it well.

0:19:130:19:14

-I remember it well.

0:19:140:19:15

-Where was Tyncefn's pew?

0:19:150:19:16

-Where was Tyncefn's pew?

-

-Here.

0:19:160:19:17

-Here.

0:19:170:19:17

-This was Tyncefn's pew.

0:19:180:19:20

-I remember a preacher asking us

-questions during Sunday School.

0:19:210:19:26

-Our class answered well.

0:19:260:19:28

-He thought the children of Tabor

-knew their Bible well.

0:19:280:19:32

-But, fair play, old John Owen...

-Evans, the teacher...

0:19:330:19:36

-..used to bring a pound

-of Blue Bird toffee with him.

0:19:370:19:41

-He gave us a sweet

-if we answered correctly.

0:19:420:19:45

-Here you are in Tabor chapel,

-46 years after your last visit.

0:19:460:19:51

-Yes, at least.

0:19:510:19:53

-If just one visit can bring

-forgiveness for such a lapse...

0:19:530:19:58

-..things can't be that bad.

0:19:580:20:00

-Let's move on,

-or we'll be running late.

0:20:010:20:05

-Excellent.

0:20:050:20:07

-Come on, Trefor.

0:20:090:20:10

-Some things never change.

0:20:110:20:13

-It was always "Come on, Trefor"

-when he was young too.

0:20:130:20:17

-But he always arrived in good time.

0:20:180:20:21

-Trefor seemed to have nine days

-in a week...

0:20:210:20:25

-..whereas I never had time

-for anything.

0:20:250:20:28

-I wonder what he's like at farming.

0:20:300:20:33

-THE DOGS BARK

0:20:330:20:35

-Fetch the dosing pump from the shed.

0:20:480:20:51

-You can do that.

0:20:510:20:53

-You're opening the door

-the wrong way!

0:20:550:20:58

-Calm down, calm down!

0:20:590:21:01

-Where's this drug?

0:21:010:21:03

-Drugs - where are the drugs?

0:21:040:21:06

-These?

0:21:090:21:10

-These?

-

-Trefor! Trefor!

0:21:100:21:10

-Trefor! Trefor!

0:21:100:21:12

-Trefor!

0:21:130:21:15

-Stay on the road in case they go

-towards the house.

0:21:170:21:22

-Is this the right one?

0:21:220:21:24

-Is this the right one?

-

-Don't hold it like that.

0:21:240:21:25

-Don't hold it like that.

0:21:250:21:26

-You look like Clint Eastwood!

0:21:260:21:28

-Stay there, stay there.

0:21:290:21:30

-Stay there.

0:21:310:21:32

-Stay there.

-

-"Do you feel lucky, punk?"

0:21:320:21:32

-"Do you feel lucky, punk?"

0:21:320:21:35

-Come by. Stay there.

0:21:350:21:37

-Whay, whay, whay, whay.

0:21:370:21:40

-Come by.

0:21:400:21:41

-Stop messing around,

-the dog will bite your backside.

0:21:410:21:44

-Stand, stand.

0:21:450:21:46

-Oh, who opened that gate?!

0:21:470:21:49

-That's how dogs

-are supposed to work.

0:21:540:21:57

-In you go.

0:21:570:21:58

-In you go.

-

-I'm not a dog.

0:21:580:21:58

-I'm not a dog.

0:21:580:21:59

-I know you're not.

0:22:000:22:01

-Right, that'll do.

0:22:020:22:03

-Go round there

-and get in behind them.

0:22:030:22:07

-Close the gate behind you.

0:22:070:22:09

-Give it a shake.

0:22:100:22:11

-Give it a shake.

-

-Wait a minute.

0:22:110:22:12

-Wait a minute.

0:22:120:22:12

-Have you shut the gate properly?

-No, you haven't.

0:22:120:22:16

-The sheep will be away to Llanilar!

0:22:170:22:20

-Come on, shut it!

0:22:200:22:21

-Come over here.

0:22:220:22:23

-Give them one dose each.

0:22:230:22:25

-Have you shaken it?

0:22:260:22:27

-Have you shaken... ?

0:22:280:22:30

-Haven't you ever taken any medicine?

0:22:300:22:32

-Haven't you ever taken any medicine?

-

-Not with one of these.

0:22:320:22:33

-Not with one of these.

0:22:330:22:34

-Do you stick up their backsides?

0:22:340:22:36

-Do you stick up their backsides?

-

-No, the front end.

0:22:360:22:37

-No, the front end.

0:22:370:22:38

-I know that!

0:22:380:22:40

-Don't put the whole bag

-in her mouth!

0:22:420:22:45

-In her mouth.

0:22:450:22:46

-In her mouth.

-

-Just one? How many?

0:22:460:22:47

-Just one? How many?

0:22:470:22:47

-One. You've given her six.

0:22:470:22:50

-Whoa, you've given her too much.

0:22:500:22:52

-Will you give me a job, Dai?

0:22:530:22:54

-Will you give me a job, Dai?

-

-A job? We've got 1,000 to do.

0:22:540:22:56

-A job? We've got 1,000 to do.

0:22:560:22:56

-You've only got six.

0:22:570:22:59

-Dr Jones.

0:22:590:23:00

-I use these for training dogs.

0:23:050:23:07

-I chose six small sheep.

0:23:070:23:08

-I chose six small sheep.

-

-The same sheep all the time?

0:23:080:23:10

-The same sheep all the time?

0:23:100:23:11

-Yes.

0:23:110:23:13

-They were very small

-but they've improved.

0:23:130:23:16

-They're fine.

0:23:160:23:17

-Is that it?

0:23:190:23:21

-Stay on the road...

-but I've got the dog.

0:23:210:23:25

-You'll have to come this way.

0:23:260:23:27

-You'll have to come this way.

-

-If you want me to do it again...

0:23:270:23:29

-If you want me to do it again...

0:23:290:23:31

-..bad luck.

0:23:310:23:32

-Stand, stand, stand.

0:23:330:23:36

-Stand, stand.

0:23:360:23:38

-This is a young dog.

0:23:390:23:41

-He's two years old.

0:23:410:23:43

-He'll start doing trials next year.

0:23:430:23:46

-You'll see him go.

0:23:460:23:48

-He's a bit raw.

0:23:480:23:49

-Come by.

0:23:500:23:51

-Come by.

-

-Total dedication.

0:23:510:23:51

-Total dedication.

0:23:510:23:53

-How many years will he work?

0:23:530:23:56

-It's a matter of luck.

0:23:570:23:59

-DAI WHISTLES

0:24:010:24:02

-DAI CALLS TO THE DOG

0:24:120:24:14

-Good dog.

0:24:150:24:16

-My dog's getting old.

-This is his replacement.

0:24:170:24:20

-Let me tell you, this is far

-more difficult than driving a taxi.

0:24:210:24:26

-Driving a taxi

-is like wheeling a wheelbarrow.

0:24:260:24:29

-If you say so, Dai!

0:24:290:24:32

-.

0:24:320:24:32

-888

0:24:360:24:36

-888

-

0:24:360:24:38

-London is a very busy place

-to drive around.

0:24:440:24:48

-Trefor works only 12 weeks a year

-these days.

0:24:480:24:52

-His brother

-works all the other weeks!

0:24:520:24:55

-How long have you driven taxis?

0:24:570:24:59

-How long have you driven taxis?

-

-26 years.

0:24:590:25:00

-26 years.

0:25:000:25:00

-How did you learn?

0:25:010:25:03

-You know your way around.

0:25:030:25:04

-You know your way around.

-

-You have to do the 'Knowledge'.

0:25:040:25:07

-They give you a pamphlet.

0:25:070:25:09

-There are 300 headings.

0:25:110:25:13

-One heading might be

-Paddington Station to...

0:25:140:25:17

-..let's say, Waterloo Station.

0:25:170:25:20

-You have to go out on a moped,

-though I did it on a bike.

0:25:210:25:27

-A pushbike.

0:25:280:25:29

-I cycled 13,000 miles in 20 months.

0:25:290:25:32

-Good gracious!

0:25:330:25:34

-Have you picked up anyone famous?

0:25:340:25:37

-Yes - Lord Snowdon, Meryl Streep,

-Van Morrison.

0:25:380:25:42

-I got a job one night...

0:25:430:25:45

-..I went to the studio

-to pick up Lord Snowdon.

0:25:460:25:49

-He wanted to go

-to Kensington Palace.

0:25:500:25:53

-I helped him put his kit in the car,

-cameras and lights and things.

0:25:530:25:59

-He said, "Can you give me a hand?"

-"Yes, no problem."

0:25:590:26:04

-I went into the Palace, and a voice

-said, "Who's there? Who's there?"

0:26:040:26:10

-Tony said,

-"It's alright, dear. It's only me."

0:26:100:26:14

-Then she said, "Well, don't make

-a noise. Goodnight."

0:26:140:26:17

-And that was it.

0:26:180:26:19

-Who was she?

0:26:200:26:21

-Who was she?

-

-Princess Margaret.

0:26:210:26:21

-Princess Margaret.

0:26:210:26:22

-Do you get any trouble?

0:26:230:26:25

-You have all kinds of people here.

0:26:250:26:28

-I don't get much trouble.

0:26:290:26:31

-It happens sometimes, but you learn.

0:26:310:26:34

-At night, you give them

-the 25-yard test.

0:26:350:26:39

-You stop 25 yards

-in front of them...

0:26:400:26:43

-..then watch in the mirror

-to see how they walk.

0:26:440:26:48

-If they can't walk properly,

-you drive away.

0:26:490:26:52

-You leave them?

0:26:520:26:53

-You leave them?

-

-Yes, and they go, "Oh, you... !"

0:26:530:26:53

-Yes, and they go, "Oh, you... !"

0:26:530:26:56

-You have to do it.

0:26:570:26:59

-Do you get Welsh people?

0:26:590:27:01

-Yes. There were four old women.

0:27:010:27:04

-I picked them up from Selfridges.

0:27:040:27:07

-They wanted to go to Harrods.

0:27:070:27:10

-As I took them to Harrods...

0:27:100:27:13

-..one of them said, "I'm sure

-this sod's going the wrong way."...

0:27:130:27:18

-..but I didn't say anything.

0:27:190:27:21

-Then, we got to Harrods, and I said,

-"That's the correct way, you know."

0:27:220:27:27

-She blushed!

0:27:280:27:29

-This was a very special afternoon.

0:27:360:27:38

-I hadn't seen my sister

-for many years...

0:27:390:27:42

-..but she would meet us

-this afternoon.

0:27:420:27:45

-You're my only sister and

-I haven't seen you for seven years.

0:27:460:27:52

-It's terrible, isn't it?

0:27:520:27:53

-You don't speak Welsh

-but you understand it.

0:27:540:27:57

-Yes. Slowly.

0:27:570:27:58

-Yes. Slowly.

-

-She understands everything.

0:27:580:27:58

-She understands everything.

0:27:580:27:59

-I don't get much practice.

0:27:590:28:01

-I don't get much practice.

-

-Not just Welsh.

0:28:010:28:01

-Not just Welsh.

0:28:010:28:03

-Remember coming here when we went

-to Castle Street chapel?

0:28:040:28:08

-Yeah... well, no - I was outside.

0:28:080:28:11

-I wasn't old enough to come in.

0:28:110:28:14

-As children, we'd go to the Lion's

-Corner House with the wives.

0:28:150:28:20

-The orchestra played "Happy Birthday

-To You" on your birthday.

0:28:200:28:24

-I said it was my birthday

-each time I went there!

0:28:250:28:29

-The men came here.

0:28:290:28:31

-In the country, when I was a boy...

0:28:310:28:35

-..you weren't supposed to drink

-at all, let alone on Sunday.

0:28:350:28:40

-Here, the men went straight

-from chapel to pub.

0:28:400:28:44

-I thought,

-"If Auntie Hannah saw me now!"

0:28:440:28:48

-Remember when I cut all your hair?

-You were two years old.

0:28:480:28:53

-Dad had been cutting

-the boys' hair...

0:28:530:28:56

-..and hadn't put

-the electric clippers away.

0:28:570:29:00

-I said, "Glenys, you'll get

-ice cream if I can cut your hair."

0:29:000:29:05

-And I cut her hair with clippers!

0:29:050:29:08

-Then I got a shaving brush

-and I lathered your head...

0:29:090:29:13

-..and shaved your head with a razor!

0:29:130:29:15

-..and shaved your head with a razor!

-

-That's why it's straight now.

0:29:150:29:16

-That's why it's straight now.

0:29:160:29:17

-It's your fault.

0:29:170:29:19

-I think Trefor

-looks like our father.

0:29:190:29:22

-Everyone says that.

0:29:230:29:24

-Everyone says that.

-

-You look exactly like him.

0:29:240:29:25

-You look exactly like him.

0:29:250:29:26

-But you've got his mouth.

0:29:270:29:29

-But you've got his mouth.

-

-I wouldn't say that.

0:29:290:29:29

-I wouldn't say that.

0:29:290:29:30

-You've got his head and his nose.

0:29:310:29:34

-Who am I like?

0:29:340:29:36

-I must have a bit of both.

0:29:360:29:39

-The old photographs

-show us how much we've changed.

0:29:400:29:45

-These parts of London

-have changed too.

0:29:450:29:49

-We're looking for Castle Street

-chapel.

0:29:490:29:51

-Isn't the Palladium down there?

0:29:520:29:54

-The Palladium's here,

-and that's where I sold hot dogs.

0:29:540:29:58

-I had a hot dog stand.

0:29:590:30:01

-One Sunday, the Salvation Army

-were singing...

0:30:010:30:04

-..and Mam came out of the

-tube station with her friends.

0:30:050:30:09

-She looked at me and I said,

-"Would you like a hot dog?"

0:30:090:30:14

-But off she went

-to the chapel in Castle Street.

0:30:150:30:19

-I bet she was angry!

0:30:190:30:20

-I bet she was angry!

-

-And who got the blame for it?

0:30:200:30:21

-And who got the blame for it?

0:30:210:30:23

-The old chapel

-looks worse for wear.

0:30:250:30:28

-It's sad, it's horrible.

0:30:290:30:31

-Look out.

0:30:310:30:32

-Here's the old chapel.

0:30:410:30:42

-It was full on Sunday nights.

0:30:440:30:45

-It was full on Sunday nights.

-

-Every Sunday night.

0:30:450:30:46

-Every Sunday night.

0:30:460:30:47

-It was full to the rafters.

0:30:470:30:48

-It was full to the rafters.

-

-If you weren't here by 5.30...

0:30:480:30:50

-If you weren't here by 5.30...

0:30:500:30:51

-Nowhere to sit.

0:30:510:30:53

-..you lost your place.

0:30:530:30:55

-We sat up...

0:30:550:30:56

-We sat up...

-

-The organ up there.

0:30:560:30:57

-The organ up there.

0:30:570:30:58

-That's where we sat,

-behind the clock.

0:30:580:31:01

-I remember the organist came to sit

-with the choir during the sermon.

0:31:020:31:07

-To listen to the sermon.

0:31:090:31:11

-There used to be a rail here,

-didn't there?

0:31:120:31:16

-Yes. I was baptised in there.

0:31:160:31:19

-Glenys too.

0:31:190:31:20

-Glenys too.

-

-Yes, and me.

0:31:200:31:21

-Yes, and me.

0:31:210:31:21

-Walter P had just had a hernia

-operation when he baptised us.

0:31:220:31:27

-He did six of us.

0:31:270:31:29

-I was the smallest.

0:31:290:31:31

-He baptised six of us in that pool.

0:31:310:31:33

0:32:220:32:24

-Glenys had a high regard

-for Castle Street Welsh chapel.

0:32:280:32:32

-It was good to see her

-looking so well.

0:32:320:32:36

-Trefor spent years in the city

-among the great and the good.

0:32:360:32:41

0:32:490:32:54

-I was the doorman on that blue door.

0:32:540:32:57

-I was the doorman on that blue door.

-

-What did you do?

0:32:570:32:58

0:32:580:32:59

-Just stand in the door?

0:32:590:33:00

-Just stand in the door?

-

-And open car doors.

0:33:000:33:01

-And open car doors.

0:33:010:33:02

-"Good evening, nice to see you, Lord

-and Lady Whatever Your Name Is."

0:33:020:33:08

-There was a security camera

-behind the club.

0:33:320:33:36

-Once, they filmed a man

-putting a bag down.

0:33:360:33:40

-They caught him

-coming down the stairs one evening.

0:33:400:33:44

-and he passed out, unconscious.

0:33:460:33:49

-A doctor was called.

0:33:490:33:51

-land of whinberries and lakes."

0:34:180:34:22

-My brother, Trefor, prefers

-the luxury of Estepona in Spain...

0:34:220:34:27

-..and heat.

0:34:270:34:28

-He enjoys every day.

0:34:280:34:30

-He's always been lucky, but I don't

-know if I'd change places with him.

0:34:300:34:36

-There are oranges on the trees.

0:34:440:34:46

-When they're ripe,

-the council picks them all...

0:34:470:34:51

-..and local people

-make marmalade from them.

0:34:520:34:55

-They're not suitable for eating

-as they are.

0:34:560:35:00

-Have one.

0:35:010:35:03

0:35:100:35:11

-They make marmalade from them.

0:35:120:35:13

-They make marmalade from them.

-

-Right on the street.

0:35:130:35:14

-Right on the street.

0:35:140:35:14

-Get them from a tree

-instead of a shop!

0:35:150:35:18

-Good gracious - a gift from heaven!

0:35:200:35:23

-Who said Cardiganshire folk

-are tight?

0:35:280:35:31

-there aren't so many people here.

0:39:010:39:06

-But they keep the place so tidy.

0:39:070:39:08

-But they keep the place so tidy.

-

-Constantly.

0:39:080:39:09

-They call them marineros.

0:39:090:39:12

-Move on, Trefor.

0:39:120:39:14

-There's a brake on each side

-of the handlebars.

0:39:140:39:18

-There's water beside me too.

0:39:180:39:20

-If I had a pound for every boat,

-I'd have a lot of money.

0:39:220:39:27

-Most of them are British.

0:39:270:39:29

-People can travel from England...

0:39:300:39:32

-..from London, Manchester,

-Liverpool, Cardiff, in two hours.

0:39:320:39:36

-It's paradise

-for people who like boats.

0:39:360:39:39

-Two weeks on the water, non-stop.

0:39:390:39:42

-I don't like being on water though.

0:39:420:39:46

-People play cards and read a lot.

0:39:460:39:48

-People play cards and read a lot.

-

-Play cards and read?

0:39:480:39:49

-Play cards and read?

0:39:490:39:49

-You can do that at home.

0:39:490:39:52

-You can see dolphins and whales.

0:39:530:39:55

-You can see sharks.

0:39:560:39:58

-I'd prefer to see

-sheep, lambs, pigs and dogs.

0:39:580:40:01

-Every September, Trefor loves to go

-to watch the bullfighting...

0:40:040:40:09

-..in the historic town of Ronda...

0:40:100:40:12

-..when matadors and picadors

-are in town.

0:40:130:40:17

-The ring itself.

0:40:170:40:19

-This is the bullring.

0:40:190:40:21

-The ground is hard.

0:40:220:40:24

-Is the place always full of people?

0:40:250:40:25

-Is the place always full of people?

-

-Yes.

0:40:250:40:27

-Is the place always full of people?

0:40:270:40:27

-There's a brass band up there.

0:40:270:40:27

-There's a brass band up there.

0:40:270:40:30

-The president sits there

-with his friends.

0:40:300:40:33

-He signals when to start

-and when to stop.

0:40:330:40:37

-You said it's the most famous one

-in Spain.

0:40:370:40:41

-The wall isn't very high.

-Do bulls escape?

0:40:420:40:45

-Yes, occasionally -

-and people jump into the ring.

0:40:450:40:49

-It sounds like Tregaron mart!

0:40:490:40:51

-How long does a matador

-stay in the ring?

0:40:540:40:58

-Twenty minutes with each bull.

0:40:580:41:00

-Good gracious, twenty minutes!

0:41:000:41:02

-Not on his own though.

-He's got picadors too.

0:41:020:41:06

-If he does well,

-he receives one ear.

0:41:060:41:10

-If he does better - two ears.

0:41:100:41:12

-If he's exceptional,

-he receives the tail as well.

0:41:130:41:17

-A poor prize for exceptional work!

0:41:200:41:22

-A poor prize for exceptional work!

-

-In places like Madrid...

0:41:220:41:22

-In places like Madrid...

0:41:220:41:24

-..they're so critical, that

-winning one ear makes your season.

0:41:240:41:28

-Your fees shoot up.

0:41:280:41:30

-They're very tough in Madrid.

0:41:300:41:33

-They're tough here too.

0:41:330:41:35

-Any farmer

-would be proud of this bull.

0:41:370:41:41

-That's a good shape.

0:41:410:41:42

-That's a good shape.

-

-They weigh just under 600 kilos.

0:41:420:41:43

-They weigh just under 600 kilos.

0:41:430:41:44

-Four years old.

0:41:440:41:46

-Are they fed a special diet?

0:41:460:41:49

-No-one touches them

-from the day they're born.

0:41:490:41:53

-They spend four years in the fields.

0:41:530:41:56

-What happens to the meat

-from these bulls?

0:41:570:42:00

-It gets eaten, but it doesn't go

-to a normal butcher.

0:42:010:42:05

-It goes to butchers who only sell

-bull meat from the bullfights.

0:42:050:42:11

-The meat is very muscular.

0:42:120:42:14

-It's all muscle.

0:42:150:42:16

-Talking about meat makes me hungry.

0:42:190:42:21

-Trefor is going to prepare lunch.

0:42:220:42:24

-He takes me to buy a steak.

0:42:240:42:27

-This is my butcher.

0:42:300:42:32

-My butcher in Spain.

0:42:320:42:34

-Look at all that meat!

0:42:340:42:36

-He's here from 10.00am until 3.00pm.

0:42:360:42:39

-He closes at 2.00pm and opens again

-from 5.00pm until 9.00pm.

0:42:390:42:44

-Does he slaughter his own meat?

0:42:450:42:48

-Some of it.

0:42:480:42:49

-He makes all these hamburgers...

0:42:490:42:52

-..and the escalopes.

0:42:520:42:54

-Lovely.

0:42:540:42:55

-Three or four people work here.

0:42:560:42:58

-Three or four people work here.

-

-It's busy.

0:42:580:42:58

-It's busy.

0:42:580:42:59

-Very busy.

0:42:590:43:01

-Sausages are hanging everywhere.

0:43:010:43:02

-Sausages are hanging everywhere.

-

-I'll buy some of those.

0:43:020:43:03

-I'll buy some of those.

0:43:030:43:05

-What are those? Cured hams?

0:43:050:43:06

-What are those? Cured hams?

-

-No, smoked.

0:43:060:43:07

-No, smoked.

0:43:070:43:08

-Black Foot - the best ham

-has black bits on the feet.

0:43:080:43:12

-How much would that cost

-in British money?

0:43:130:43:17

-That's about 60.

0:43:170:43:19

-60?

0:43:200:43:21

-It'll keep for two or three years.

0:43:210:43:25

-That wouldn't last me three years!

0:43:260:43:28

-That's your problem!

0:43:290:43:30

-You keep it in the kitchen

-on a frame...

0:43:300:43:34

-..and each each time

-you go past - bang!

0:43:340:43:38

-Is it ready to eat?

0:43:380:43:39

-Is it ready to eat?

-

-Yes. You just trim the white part.

0:43:390:43:42

-How are you?

0:43:430:43:44

-How are you?

-

-I'm very well, very well.

0:43:440:43:45

-I'm very well, very well.

0:43:450:43:46

-And you?

0:43:460:43:48

-Very well. Today - very well.

0:43:480:43:50

-Can I have two entrecotes?

0:43:510:43:53

-Two thick.

0:43:530:43:54

-Two thick.

-

-Yes. And very nice.

0:43:540:43:55

-Yes. And very nice.

0:43:550:43:56

-I have very nice entrecotes today.

0:43:580:43:59

-I have very nice entrecotes today.

-

-Oh, lovely.

0:43:590:44:00

-Oh, lovely.

0:44:000:44:00

-How much thick, Trefor?

0:44:050:44:06

-Yes.

0:44:070:44:08

-Yes.

-

-OK?

0:44:080:44:08

-OK?

0:44:080:44:09

-Two?

0:44:090:44:11

-Is that thick enough for you?

0:44:110:44:13

-Is that thick enough for you?

-

-Yes - good gracious.

0:44:130:44:14

-Yes - good gracious.

0:44:140:44:14

-This is my brother, Dai.

0:44:150:44:17

-This is my brother, Dai.

-Yes, thank you!

0:44:220:44:24

-Trefor is a good friend.

-Very good friend.

0:44:240:44:28

-He likes entrecote.

0:44:280:44:29

-Garlic.

0:44:300:44:31

-Garlic.

-

-That's right. I like it too.

0:44:310:44:32

-That's right. I like it too.

0:44:320:44:34

-HE SPEAKS SPANISH

0:44:340:44:35

-HE SPEAKS SPANISH

-

-It's running in the family.

0:44:350:44:36

-It's running in the family.

0:44:360:44:37

-He's the cook, I'm the eater!

0:44:380:44:40

-TREFOR SPEAKS SPANISH

0:44:400:44:42

-He's a cheerful chap.

0:44:430:44:45

0:44:450:44:47

-Gracias, Juan.

0:44:480:44:49

-Gracias, Juan.

-And congratulations.

-

-Goodbye. Thank you.

0:44:520:44:52

-Goodbye. Thank you.

0:44:520:44:53

-Ta-ra.

0:44:530:44:55

-Will you prepare the garlic, Dai?

0:44:570:44:59

-Peel and crush it.

0:45:000:45:01

-What are these round things?

0:45:020:45:04

-Chorizo.

0:45:040:45:06

-To eat before you eat.

0:45:060:45:07

-To eat before you eat.

-

-You eat before you eat?

0:45:070:45:08

-You eat before you eat?

0:45:080:45:09

-An appetizer.

0:45:090:45:11

-All the bars serve tapas - a plate

-of things to nibble while you drink.

0:45:110:45:17

-You never see Spaniards drunk.

0:45:170:45:19

-They drink all day

-but they're constantly eating too.

0:45:190:45:23

-I try to do that!

0:45:230:45:25

-I try to do that!

-

-Put these down...

0:45:250:45:25

-Put these down...

0:45:250:45:26

-..as though you were lifting a lamb,

-tenderly.

0:45:270:45:30

-MOBILE PHONE

0:45:310:45:33

-Don't be long! I don't want trouble

-with these steaks!

0:45:340:45:38

-I'd prefer a view

-of sheep and cattle.

0:45:400:45:43

-But I've nothing

-against these steaks.

0:45:450:45:48

-That's typical of Trefor.

0:45:490:45:50

-When there's work to be done...

0:45:510:45:53

-..he's either on the phone

-or in the toilet.

0:45:530:45:57

-You can hear him laughing.

0:45:570:45:59

-He'd talk to his shadow.

0:45:590:46:01

-Trefor hasn't changed a bit.

0:46:010:46:04

-How do you like steak? Medium rare,

-rare, well done, cremated?

0:46:050:46:10

-Large.

0:46:100:46:12

-Remember to bring the wine.

0:46:140:46:16

-Red?

0:46:160:46:17

-Red?

-

-Red.

0:46:170:46:18

-Red.

0:46:180:46:19

-As they say in Spain,

-"Mas vino tinto, por favor."

0:46:190:46:23

-Right, are you ready?

0:46:240:46:26

-I've already started.

0:46:260:46:28

-Did you ever wonder if you were

-doing the right thing, coming here?

0:46:280:46:33

-And leaving Wales?

0:46:340:46:35

-I hadn't...

-I didn't know what would happen.

0:46:360:46:39

-Talk about burn your boats -

-that's what I did.

0:46:390:46:43

-I sold a house in England

-and bought a flat here.

0:46:430:46:48

-All my money

-went into buying this place.

0:46:490:46:53

-I'd never get as much money for this

-as I did for my place in England.

0:46:530:46:59

-But I knew what I wanted.

0:46:590:47:02

-I've lived in Estepona since 1991...

0:47:020:47:04

-..for a minimum

-of three months a year.

0:47:050:47:08

-I've got friends

-from when I first came here.

0:47:080:47:13

-Your steak is delicious.

0:47:130:47:15

-Are you interested in football?

0:47:160:47:19

-Just Real Madrid

-because it's a communal thing.

0:47:200:47:23

-Going to a Real Madrid

-supporters' bar.

0:47:240:47:27

-Watching the match.

0:47:280:47:30

-I go to see a match

-in Madrid three times a year.

0:47:310:47:36

-We have a big lunch. It's social.

0:47:360:47:39

-Each to his own.

0:47:400:47:43

-I enjoyed myself in Estepona

-in Spain...

0:47:440:47:47

-..but give me Wales every time.

0:47:470:47:50

-It's nice to see

-that family members are happy...

0:47:500:47:54

-..both Glenys and Trefor.

0:47:540:47:56

-And I can assure you that I'm happy.

0:47:560:48:00

-They say blood

-is thicker than water...

0:48:110:48:14

-..but for you,

-it seems the reverse is true.

0:48:140:48:17

-You have to stop somewhere,

-and here's where I want to stop.

0:48:180:48:22

-I want to be here with my friends.

0:48:220:48:25

-No-one could be closer to you

-than Glenys and me...

0:48:250:48:30

-..your brother and sister.

0:48:300:48:32

-But I'm comfortable with the fact

-that you're comfortable...

0:48:330:48:36

-..and I really mean that...

0:48:370:48:39

-..among a new family.

0:48:390:48:41

-Good.

0:48:410:48:43

-Clermont Club, Annabel's, The Club,

-The Saddle Room, Ladbrokes.

0:48:490:48:53

-Trefor! Trefor!

0:48:540:48:56

-Trefor!

0:48:570:48:58

-Have you shut the gate properly?

-No, you haven't.

0:48:580:49:02

-The sheep will be away to Llanilar!

0:49:020:49:03

-The sheep will be away to Llanilar!

-

-I worked in the Penthouse Club.

0:49:030:49:05

-I worked in the Penthouse Club.

0:49:050:49:06

-Do you remember it?

0:49:060:49:07

-Do you remember it?

-

-No - I'm from Llanilar.

0:49:070:49:08

-No - I'm from Llanilar.

0:49:080:49:09

-Oh, who opened that gate?!

0:49:090:49:11

-Calm down, calm down!

0:49:110:49:13

-It's nice to see cattle

-in the fields.
