have to say i agree with chris on this.Even my father who was a deputy down the local pit said the pits weren't run very efficiently and something needed to be done
whether "maggies way"was the right way is a matter of opinion ,i agreed with alot of the changes she made to the country , and in SOME ways,NOT all i think we are better off
however i do think that now is right time to look at re-opening some of the pits,given the level of modern technology compared to 25yrs ago i think we could make a much better job of it
