Second of two programmes The Hardest Trade in the World
'Coal out and ore in, they were deep-laden both ways as if in wanton defiance of those great Cape Horn seas. It was the hardest of all deep-water trades.'
Aled Eames , sailor and historian, tells the story of the trade between South
Wales and the west coast of South America which Joseph Conrad so admired.
The first return cargo was copper ore but an even less romantic commodity soon paid better. The Chincha
Islands off Peru - where the sea-bird guano lay 140 feet deep - was the last great meeting place for the wooden sailing ships of the world, and the foul-smelling fertiliser was the last cargo many of them ever carried ... Narrator Ray Smith

British as Finchley?
Mrs Thatcher came to office convinced that Northern
Ireland was as British as England, Scotland and Wales. Last week Brass Tacks examined what the people of Northern Ireland think of their links with Britain. Tonight the people of mainland UK express their feelings on a historic and troubled relationship.
Peter Taylor invites some of Northern Ireland's leading politicians to face the Brass Tacks audience. For the first time, The Rev Ian Paisley , MP, arch-defender of the Unionist cause,
Martin Smyth , Grand Master of the Orange Order in Ireland, and John Hume , committed advocate of the Anglo-Irish
Agreement, argue their cases and are challenged by the British voter.
