-I started working in the cemetery -in 1972. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
-My father worked here before me. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
-He'd been here... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
-..for about ten years. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
-We then worked together -for the next 23 years. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
-I've now been here for 40 years. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
-In 23 years, we dug almost 2,500 -graves with a pick and shovel. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:43 | |
-If we started digging a grave each -at around 8.00am... | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
-..we'd be finished by about 11.00am. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
-My father carried on working -after reaching pension age. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
-He continued to work as hard as me. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-The days of the pick and shovel -have gone. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-Not many people use them now. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-I was asked to be responsible -for the cemetery... | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
-..and to maintain standards. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-That's what I do. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
-A woman asked me the other day -how many were buried here. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
-"All of them", I said. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
-You must have a bit of a sense of -humour, but you have to be careful! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
-When the call comes, the first -step is to find the grave. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
-That's if they want to be -buried with family. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-I knew where they all are. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
-From experience, I can even find -the ones without gravestones. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
-I also know how many are in there. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
-You have to be organized. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-You can't afford -to make mistakes in this job. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-There are no second chances. -That's the nature of the job. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
-I cut the grass -and look for the graves. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
-I test the graves. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
-There are 60 miles of paths which -need to be mowed in the summer. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
-I started working here -straight from school. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-I've only ever been off ill -for one week. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
-I've been at it in all weathers. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-It's a quiet place. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-You need a different tact -with everyone. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-Some people want to talk, -others don't. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-Everyone has their opinion -on where we go. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-In my opinion, -you come in through the gate... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
-..and it's one way from here. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
