    Afternoon everyone ,
    Just got a heads up from Arabian Ian about the Timex factory dispute in Dundee early 1990s.
    It’s 10:00pm on Tuesday on BBC Scotland if anyone’s interested .
    It was Dundee’s equivalent of the miners strike.

    Dundee's equivalent of the Miner's Strike is a good comparison. Both disputes particularly affected the face workers.......

    Only just clocked this thread, I'm alarmed that it's had so many replies.

    If you look closely, you'll see it has a subtitle at the top. It's called "Watch Thread".

    I've been there, it's great. You can also watch batteries fitted, and watch repairs.
