ChrisCFT, l agree with what you are saying, when l read this article about this mine that is still going, It brought up the 'scab' problem, and how it has cut ties with members of families today, I can always remember, l was working in Wales at the time, and saw the Lorries full of coal coming towards the Severn Bridge, under police convoy, and it brought a lump to my throat.

The Mining Industry was brought to its knees by an old bag of a woman, who tore the heart out of the working industry as we know it, I am very proud of my father, who worked down the mines, and taught me right from wrong, and how respect others peoples views, and respect people as they are and too talk it over instead of fighting.

I fully support the mining folk, as they stood for what is right, sometimes they were wrong, but this is part of life, and you have to live with it.
