Jim worked at Sheepbridge Steel at the time. He was very resourceful and grew a lot of his own food, as well as his own tobacco. He had a colleague who was always on the scrounge and who, one day, asked him for some tobacco. Jim gave him some and then later the same man asked him for some more. Jim said that he had some at home. When he got home, he made up some tobacco from a few tobacco leaves, tea leaves, dried rhubarb and a drop of his wife's perfume. He took it back to his colleague who thought it was the finest tobacco he'd had in years.
