I'm guessing the majority of you have little or no idea about this but tomorrow (21st) is the 45 year anniversary of the Aberfan disaster where an entire mountainside slid down in to the village and completely covered an infants' school. Many children perished. The **** at the NCB never fully accepted their blame in all of it and the following day the head of the Coal Board was too busy getting an award from a university in Surrey to attend the site of the disaster.

I get to Aberfan whenever I can and visit the Garden of Remembrance, there's such an eerie silence there. I won't be able to make it tomorrow but it will be affecting the whole community.
