    Apparently only 11 people turned up to hear him.
    I wish I had know, I would have been there in my red shirt.

    It's that bloody skirt that makes you all think i'm a wimp.

    I can't help the fact that i hate the bloke. It's personal.

    I've always wondered

    How on earth can he have it so good? What did he do after the miners strike?

    RE: When I was an apprentice miner at Woolley Colliery (1970)

    ..Arthur was the shop steward type person. Elijah Benn (Arthur's father in law- i think) virtually ran the whole pit, from his nice warm office on the pit top.

    Never really got any dust on his lungs...or behind his fingernails...destined for 'better things'.
