Re: The Miner's Strike - 25 years ago yesterday..
I remember the day clearly, as it was when I got married.
We went away, flew back to Manchester airport, up the M62, and the strikers were out on the bridges over the motorway with banners and placards.

The division between families was terrible.
We still know of a family who will have nothing to do with one of their sons, as he went back to work.
They called him a scab then, and last time we had the discussion about him, they still refered to him as that same word!
His brother who did stay out on strike though, has no hard feelings.
