But what of Social workers ?

[bigpaul]

there are a few disappearing, if not already disappeared, trades in your list NR, blacksmiths-not many of them these days, apart from a place owned by the National Trust near here, i dont think i've seen any down south for a few years. coal miners? not darn south they arent, wheelrights,boiler makers, seamstresses-nope nary a one, weavers-maybe a few in Somerset. Alchemists and Apothicaries-nope,loom makers-history, wrought iron workers-same as blacksmiths ditto,ditto,ditto. i dont know what it is like oop North but we dont have any off these things down south, pity poor state of affairs i'm sure we all agree, just shows how far this country has fallen from its great hayday, most of these trades are now consigned to history!
