     INTERVIEWER: How do you organize your work?
     TONY: Well, I'm married, so to be alone in the mornings,       the first thing is to get
rid of my wife, who fortunately has a job, so she gets up in the morning, makes a cup
of tea, rouses me, I come downstairs, wander round the kitchen, have my cup of tea,
iron her clothes for her that she's put out for me on the first floor landing on top of the
ironing board, so I do her ironing - by that stage she's in the bath, so I'm - by that
stage it's half past eight, quarter to nine, I'm only half an hour from being on my own
- come down and make sure she's got all her lunch in a bag, by that stage I've finished
my tea, I've finished the ironing, she's out of the bath, I'm in the bath, she goes
upstairs and gets dressed; by the time- if this is all synchronised properly- by the time
I get out of the bath and go upstairs she's fully dressed; and then by the time I'm
dressed and come downstairs she's just about to hop on her bicycle and go off to
work, which makes it about nine o'clock or nine fifteen.
      And then I'm on my own. And I fluffle around for half an hour, putting off
sitting down, make myself another cup of tea; but I'm usually working by ten o'clock.
Then I work till twelve o'clock, half past twelve, then reward myself with some
lunch, have a cup of tea, waste another ten minutes, start working about one o'clock
again, and work till two o'clock, half past two.
      Thereafter I become a househusband, and get the house organised for the
evening when my wife 8comes home, at anywhere between six and seven o'clock,
and the house has got to be tidy or I get into trouble. And doing it all myself involves
doing most of the housework, most of the ironing, all the washing, a good part of the
cooking...
