    The privatisation of the industry led to a decline in safety standards, RJB Mining in particular, tried to massage the safety figures at Kellingley in 1997 when then Manager Terry Symons didn't record any accidents - despite there being several. He was sacked, and rightfully so, but he wouldn't have acted alone or unbeknown to the Directors - production & greed push safety into third place.

    Brought back memories seeing this picture

    Should be on iplayer, yeah it was worth a watch, they laid him a cracking spread on one night, it was like their version of "chicken in a basket" but as Extremely Northern pointed out earlier more like "goat in a bucket"

    Praying they'd come back, just to see him bury them in their own holes.

    I was hoping one of those mopeds in the background was one of them returning after dinner.
