I think the youths of today, Would go down the pit, it would give them an sight into the fact, that they are producing something.
The mining industry brought familes together, and with all the gear available, it would not be too long to produce the coal within a month and to meet health and safety needs.
Youths and say for example young lads and lasses who have been before the beak, could take an offer go and get trained to go down the pit and earn money and repay society or face other dull duties. You would be surpised at what incentives that would give them.
