Father O'Gorman had got his walking papers by this time. He was going to London and promised to bring the wrongs and grievances of people of the goldfields before members of the House of Commons with whom he was acquainted. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 61) — К тому времени отец О'Горман был уже смещен.

Dave shouted at the trammer-boss, ‘Out of every thousand workers, surface and underground, only eighty-three are kept on after they reach forty-five! That's what is better, all right! We're on the slag dump twenty years before we can claim a pension! So the work is safer now, eh? Safer for who? Safer for the guys who get the gate by the hundreds every week?’ (D. Carter, ‘Fatherless Sons’, ch. 28) — - Из каждой тысячи рабочих и под землей и на поверхности только восемьдесят три продолжают работать после сорока пяти лет! - кричал Дейв на старшего откатчика. - Вот оно улучшение труда! Нас выбрасывают на свалку за двадцать лет до того, как наступает срок пенсии! Значит, сейчас работать не так опасно, да? Только для кого? Для тех рабочих, которых каждую неделю сотнями вышвыривают за ворота?

‘Am I going to get the push?’ said McGrath. Ducane hesitated. In fact McGrath's dismissal was a certainty. (I. Murdoch, ‘The Nice and the Good’, ch. 2) — - А меня выгонят с работы? - спросил Мак-Грат. Дакейн ответил не сразу. Действительно, уже было принято решение уволить Мак-Грата.
