Benny tas-'Salut' together with Salvu! Thanks to The People of Malta for the feature :)
"It-tnejn li aħna twelidna, trabbejna u rabbejna fir-raba'. Fi żmieni, skola ma kinitx xi ħaġa ta' bilfors. Niftakar li kien ikollna ġimgħa sagħtejn filgħodu u l-ġimgħa ta' wara sagħtejn wara nofsinhar, u jalternaw. Il-ħajja tatna wisq fuq wiċċna. Jiddispjaċik biss meta jkun hemm min jiġi għaLl-prodotti tagħna u ma japprezzax it-tbatija li hemm warajh dak il-prodott. Żgħażagħ ftit fadal f'das-settur. Iż-żgħażagħ tal-lum ifittxu d-divertiment u li jaqilgħu l-flus mingħajr ma jbatu.” – Benny u Salvu
"Il-maktur ma noħroġx mingħajru. Meta ninżgħu, nagħmlu fejn insibu.
Dispjaċir li kelli kien meta ltqajt mar-Reġina, tajtha bukkett ward imma ritratt tifkira m'għandix għax dakinhar ma kienx hemm fotografu." – Salvu

“We were both born and bred in the fields. Back in those days, school wasn’t obligtory: we had two hours in the morning one week, then two hours in the afternoon the following week and then we alternate. Life has dealt us so many heavy blows. We’re especially saddened when customers do not appreciate our hard work. There are few youths left in this sector. Nowadays, the young generation only cares about having a good time and earning money without any hardships or pain.” – Benny u Salvu
“I always carry a handkerchief. If I take it off, I put it somewhere where I can find it.
I have one regret about the day I met the Queen - I gave her a bouquet of flowers but we didn’t take a photo together because there was no photographer.” - Salvu
