Ian

• "Better than being a painter." / "Or a sailmaker." / "Or a tick man"

  Neither Alec nor Ian admire what their fathers do - they seem keen to avoid the future of their fathers.
• "Soon as ah'm old enough ah'm chuckin it."

  Ian, unlike Alec, doesn't value education. He looks down on his father's job but looks destined to tread the same path.
