KINDER SCOUT : Protected Now They Say
After wandering over Kinder ( sometimes been burnt to a cinder... and with more stories than even an Anitcant can tell) I hear that those high up peat bogs and rocks and all that are now a natural treasure for the UK.
Anybody remember the protests from a few years ago? Anybody recall the ways that working folk were denied access to the so called "outdoors"?
Brings back a memory. One day as I was tramping upon the Kinder Scout moors I was stopped. A friendly man asked me : " How far is the Snake Inn"?

Well, I hope it was tucked safely inside your pants. It can be breezy up there.
BTW, what is an Anitcant?
No delousing in The ZolaEmporium.
It is quite obvious that those that make comments here have never worked in a damned dirty factory or mine.
Jesus wept : do I always talk this way?
No, but I've been down a coal mine. Very glad I did - especially as it was during the run-up to the 1945 election, so hot politics was getting more attention underground than digging coal. But once was enough; it filled me with intense admiration for miners.
I've been to lots of hot dirty and quite fascinating steel works, too, though I never worked in one.
