I have to give credit to Ulster Weavers (http://www.ulsterweavers.com/product.cfm/product/142/ck/0/my-get-up-and-go-linen-tea-towel.html) who produced this (and the other three sayings I posted) on their tea towels.

I first saw these on sale in Stewarts Garden Centre, Christchurch and later did a search for 'Ulster Weavers' web site.

Interesting!
From their website, About us, I read:

Quote

Ulster Weavers Ltd. is a home textiles company based in Holywood, Northern Ireland

My mother worked in the industry in her youth. It was a tough life - 6am to 6pm, 6 days a week :o

Those were definitely hard times George.

A lot of people today don't appreciate how much easier their modern day working lives are.

I know a lot of people (not on the Forum though  ;)) who would benefit from that hard graft - (no names no pack-drill).
