| F890 |
born prematurely,
because, ye know, eh, Jackie was in the hospital having other
//tests// |
| F889 |
//uh-huh// |
| F890 |
an the doctors were worried about the eh heartbeat of the baby,
//so// |

| F890 |
right away they did a c-, this eh caesarean |
| F606 |
//mmhm// |
| F889 |
//uh-huh// |
| F890 |
and the baby was only four pounds. |
| F606 |
//mm// |
| F889 |
//uh-huh// |
| F890 |
But I went in to see her one day and, you know, when I realised that years ago before they had incubators she could have died, |
| F606 |
//Yeah.// |
| F889 |
//Aye.//
//I know, I know.// |
| F606 |
//mm// |

she's now two months old,
and eh eight pounds. |
| F606 |

//uh-huh// |
| F890 |
whether they were built for agricultural workers I don't know, |
| F889 |
uh-huh |

but eh there was one man in this house,
and he was on drugs,
and had kicked in every door,
every door, |
| F606 |
uh-huh? |
| F890 |
and hadn't done a thing in the house, |
| F889 |
Mmhm |
| F890 |
and two young couples turned it down |
| F606 |
//mm// |
| F889 |
//mmhm// |
| F890 |
whether they hadn't the know-how to
put it in
//order// |
| F889 |
//mmhm// |
| F890 |
I don't know. |
| F606 |
mm
//So was it a real mess?// |
| F890 |

Oh aye. |
| F890 |
but in a year's time
they can buy it. |
| F606 |
mmhm |
| F890 |
Well on the whole I really don't approve of selling council houses.
This was the Conservatives who started it and they're still boasting about it,
//but// |
| F889 |
//uh-huh// |
| F890 |
what about the next generation |
| F606 |
//mmhm// |
| F889 |
//Aye.// |
| F890 |
coming along, they won't have houses
//for them.// |
| F889 |
//No.//
//mm// |
| F606 |
//No.// |
| F890 |
//This is happening already.// |
| F606 |
//Yeah.// |
| F889 |
//Aye it is uh-huh.// |
| F890 |
But James has got a bathroom upstairs and
James really would need to have a loo downstairs, |
| F889 |
mmhm |
| F890 |
and eh the only way they can get it is by buying it |
| F889 |
Aye
//mmhm// |
| F606 |
//Yeah// |
| F890 |
//which I think they will eventually.// |
| F606 |
//Yeah// |
| F889 |
//But it's lovely//
and they're right at the end and they've
//got a back and front gardens,// |
| F890 |
//Yes it's very//
//attractive,// |
| F606 |
//Aye// |
| F889 |
//so it's nice.// |

So what's the baby called? |
