Black Country Living Museum #2
Sim says i forgot to mention that when we went to the trap shop (where they used to make iron animal traps for export) a man came in guiding a tour and started a talk. He (the guide) said we didnt have to leave so were then obliged to listen to the not very interesting talk. Well the content was interesting but the bloke droned on a bit. Anyway later on we went into this house made of iron (an experiment in cheap housing to replace the slums which turned out to be too expensive) and there was a bloke in costume in there who started talking at us telling us about the house. Sim says its the same man from the trap shop. I dont think it was but said i would take his word for it. Sim says this has never happened before (me taking his word for anything) and must be noted in the blog!!!

I bet he didn't even work there, but just has nothing better to do, has been there a million times, so gives tours until he's caught and escorted out!
Ha ha! I love that! I hope its true just some geezer whose stuck in the olden days. He probably sleeps in the mustly old bed they have set up too and eats fish n chips every day!!
I am totally putting my money on that being the case! :-)
