bnc_spoken.train#286 | So at this er time we decided we'd start er a little class in this we did. |
bnc_spoken.train#122 | Again that's only a general principle. |
bnc_spoken.train#272 | And anyway when we got back to England er we went to Aldershot, and wasn't there long. |
bnc_spoken.train#268 | I mean that's how communications were in them days. |
bnc_spoken.train#186 | Of course and that w oh I and ti and so anyway I started er work in August nineteen thirteen and er when December came around er there was a strike. |
bnc_spoken.train#132 | it will be assu it will be assumed that, yes |

bnc_spoken.train#208 | And er y y and it's surprising isn't it? |
bnc_spoken.train#135 | Not wanting to induce panicking . |
bnc_spoken.train#260 | The reason why we was there b it was because er there was so many deserters in our lot. |
bnc_spoken.train#312 | She said er, I was at a reception in London at the Indian Embassy and when er I was introduced as coming from , she says, The High Commission said to me, You come from ? |

bnc_spoken.train#92 | Increase in information about unem unemployment itself, that is a, that is a problem, people have this misapprehensions about the probability of getting a job |
bnc_spoken.train#89 | put more infrastructure in so that then the farmers can send their children to school rather than work on the land. |
bnc_spoken.train#81 | It's at its highest in rural areas, this is what's being done. |
bnc_spoken.train#29 | Because erm, the urban sector is normally considered to be capital intensive a sector, and the rural area in L D Cs are considered more labour intensive, and so erm, obviously when you get an influx of labour, and changes to the capital to labour ratio |
bnc_spoken.train#65 | Erm okay what was the importance of implication of er, Harrison model? |
bnc_spoken.train#192 | And er then they started blacklegs and when they started the rest of the firms all came as well then and I remember er going down on the picket lines and er they'd be all the members there. |
bnc_spoken.train#221 | Now So anyway the strike er never reached a successful conclusion, this firm had it's blacklegs and er eventually closed because it couldn't carry on. |

bnc_spoken.train#308 | And er I've heard it mentioned about him on on on people who have interviewed him on television. |
bnc_spoken.train#143 | write anyway for thirty minutes |
bnc_spoken.train#16 | Now if we think of W U as being er, the expected value of the urban wage, and that equals the probability of getting a job, multiplied by the actual urban wages, alright then this probability of getting a job is going to be important as well. |
bnc_spoken.train#228 | And the general run of hosiery is that there is of course that there's a lot more females than males but in our side pretty equal. |

bnc_spoken.train#232 | All the women were, and that's true of of the hosiery industry, of course you've got a a there's a big distinction between the hosiery industry as such and the hosiery finishing industry which was then the, they're amalgamated now, but there were two entirely distinct unions, in tho Er as a matter of fact they n n they... |
bnc_spoken.train#294 | And er so I spent several years in the I L P as a secretary and at that time met er the people who ran the place. |
bnc_spoken.train#290 | And er I think er the retreat of the working class movement s i i is from the date when the N C L C was abolished, and opt into the General Council of the T U C. |
bnc_spoken.train#224 | And the factory where I work I should think we took about fourteen of the men at this factory. |

bnc_spoken.train#300 | There was a a s an Indian student came to and he was a prospective Labour candidate, but the Labour Party prevented him from being a candidate er because er his main theme in life was to try and get India free from you know the British Empire. |

bnc_spoken.train#317 | He says, Well you tell him from me that I shall never forget. |
bnc_spoken.train#194 | Er with the addition of a lot of of members of the public who sympathized and knew what was happening. |

bnc_spoken.train#200 | And er he tells me he says, Well we night that we were going to do it, meeting them from work it w it was getting dark of course, December, he said that there was only me turned up. |
bnc_spoken.train#176 | This wasn't regular, the real hour was half past six until six o'clock but when we were very busy you could stop you know as long as you like nobody'd ever bother. |
bnc_spoken.train#167 | And er me job there was turning sock what you'd call halfoes you know mens' socks, from one side to the other on a piece of wood, you know you'd pull the stocking onto this wood, put your finger on the back, turned it over and threw it down. |

bnc_spoken.train#56 | I put erm, studies by Helen and Tate, nineteen eighty three, found public sector employment averaged forty four percent of non-agricultural employment in twenty L D Cs and in extreme cases were Tanzania and Zambia, were as high as seventy eight and eighty one percent respectively. |
bnc_spoken.train#170 | That's two and half pence in today's money. |
bnc_spoken.train#282 | So I used to go with him, and incidently he was a, he was very good on classical music, although we never went into this although I'd got very close to him but I'm sure he were brought up in an orphanage you know, and never talked about this but I'm sure he was. |
bnc_spoken.train#262 | And then so we went from Ireland er to er to Egypt. |
bnc_spoken.train#284 | Well so we went to the I L P and er at this time we started getting er a class together in the, where I worked there was a hundred men and hundred lads, approximately. |
bnc_spoken.train#240 | I don't know whether I was a good soldier or not, but I went to Egypt and the Sudan. |

bnc_spoken.train#238 | Came back in twenty one. |
bnc_spoken.train#138 | Don't bother doing diagrams, get a sentence in on everything you know, right although it's not |
bnc_spoken.train#202 | He said of course I scampered through these bull rushes, they never saw me they never caught me and they never ever knew who it was who'd done it, see. |
bnc_spoken.train#261 | But they took what few they'd got left on our regiment to Ireland so nobody else'd desert, while they rounded the others up and took them to Ireland you see. |
