RE: Mining

You would think they were a special breed of employee..one that redundancy cannot be applied to,funny that no other occupation is excluded from redundancy. The miners are not the only hard workers who have had to face the prospect that their role could not be guarenteed for life. Yes they worked hard but so too have many other occupations for example builders who have lost their jobs without the cushion of a big redundancy payment funded by the taxpayer. There is no job for life and in a modern society you must be able to face chance and develop transferable skills.

 

Sherrup thee, fossil

RE: Eh?

I think he meant thatcher

 

Got back on Wednesday

Been knackered ever since, need another holiday to get over it. I can certainly recommend Agia Napa if you like pubs and clubs packed with wall to wall up-for-it muff. A bit like Tarn but more pubs / clubs / birds and much better weather. Beaches were great and all.

 

I know

I was being daft.

 

RE: hehe

How did you manage without a drink till you found em?

 

No No No

And I'm not impersonating the guy from the Vicar of Dibley either.

The critical thing in my opinion is that the mines will not be re-opened in the foreseeable future. Once their gone they are gone for a very long time.

You can put a shed selling blah blah blah, close it and set it up again selling bling bling bling etc etc. Same with factories and the like. Once you close a mine its gone for good. That's why there was a ferocious battle.

I think in the mid/late 70's nearly 70 odd percent of Barnsley's working male pop was employed in the mines or a mining related occupation. I did the research as part of my mining diploma.
