Slightly contrived but none-the-less true, when I was twelve I operated a horse-drawn mower-binder under-age in a Thornton-le-Dale wheat-field.
Septuple hyphen?
I'll get me coat...
Horse dawn mower? When I were a lad, the landowner would turn up at the workhouse and get a dozen ten year olds to pull the mower. Out of the kindness of his heart, he'd often give them a double ration of gruel at the end of the day. As for coats, the orphanage had three coats to be shared by twelve kids. Mind you, that's all changed. The landowner's grandson is in the current cabinet, and all the work on his estates is done by agency workers for £1.80 per hour.
