© BBC Radio Scotland
From 'A Life of Service', a BBC Radio Scotland programme documenting the stories of people who worked on farms and estates in the 1930s. In this clip a woman explains how working conditions in the big house depended very much on the luck of the draw. If your employers had a housekeeper, then she could often make your life miserable.
