Oh, I'd not argue my mam's experience was the norm, but she grew up in a pretty poor rural family, her dad was a shepherd so I guess there were plentiful fields of tatties nearby.

^^^ We had tattie fields nearby (this was in East Lothian) but by then no real need for child labour I guess. There was a bothy outside the village where gangs of labourers would stay when they were needed.

JFairfax posted:is it possible for allies to illegally enter each other's territorial waters? when they are both members of NATO and there is a nato base on Gibraltar? NATO membership is a red herring because NATO membership confers no rights of transit over member states territories (hence American planes and boats carrying nukes having to detour around Spain for most of the sixties and seventies and British ships having to skirt Turkish waters to get to Cyprus, for example) Anyway, legally speaking, sovereign nations have the right to deny access to their territorial waters to any craft, but "territorial waters" is a slippery one, with Spain not recognising the British claim to the three-mile territorial waters. Britain can claim up to 12 miles but this would take it up to the limit of Morocco's waters and leave Spain in the strange position of having no legally-guaranteed right to transit ships from their Mediterranean ports to their Atlantic ports - Britain presumably don't want this to happen because it would make the legal dispute much more likely to go Spain's way. As with most maritime law it's all a clusterfuck and is mostly settled with a bit of sabre-rattling and the occasional exchange of gunfire that everyone agrees was regrettable.

Almost all of the inhabited bits of Gib (and certainly the only bits that make it strategically important) are at sea level or close to it. However it's comforting to know, come Waterworld, that there will be three Royal Marines still flying the Union Flag on the six square feet that is all that is left of the Empire.
