TROUBLE AT T' MILL

Inside the Mill, Wilson confidently explained to Antony and Tiny Toy that, if they'd all been born a hundred years ago, he'd probably have had to work somewhere like this, sleeping under the machines, living on a diet of fluff and getting his tail caught in the Spinning Jenny, while Antony and TT would be on the streets selling flowers and matches respectively.

The Bees, he continued, would have had to take in washing and do minor garment repairs whilst the sTone Brothers, if they were very lucky, might have procured employment as paper weights in a rich household.

The children were greatly impressed by W's knowledge of history, so I didn't like to mention in front of them that this is a flour mill, not a cotton mill.
