Good afternoon.
I was getting in touch from a television company as we are producing a new series for Channel 4. As part of one of our shows, we wanted to talk about firemen working in the mines who would have ‘fired’ the methane using candles.
I came across the following topic:
coalmine.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=qa&action=display&thread=35
and wanted to talk to the user dazb about the following poem and potential inclusion in the series:
THE IMPERTINANT PENITANT
Reight lad, abart this job
Easy to do and pays reight well
Seven shifts wurk erll ern thee a bob
An tuppence extra fer firin’t gob.
Just get thi candle on a stick
An get darn’t pit narr double quick.
Mek shurr tha theer biforr’t all’t men
Dun’t want owt bad ter happen ter them.
Just leight thi candle up in’t heddin
Burn that damp an stop it spreddin.
One question gaffer before arr go
These rags are sodden I hope yer know
If ave arr ter wear this hooded cloak
Dus tha mind mi hevin a smoke?
There’ll be no smoking in this pit
Manager’s rules just wouldn’t allow it.
Besides all that, smoking isn’t good
Give it up, you know you should
Pulmonary oedema and emphysema
Chronic bronchitis and even blastema
Just complicates a coroner’s report.
Whereas “Killed in an explosion” keeps it short.
If anyone could help me find out dazb’s contact details (maybe it’s the user dazbt now) I would be exceptionally grateful. My contact details are:
