My uncle was a geologist for the NCB, obviously lost his job , I went down a mine once, sort of museum, not nice.
I loved it Este, i'd go back down tomorrow if i had the chance. my dear old ma, god bless her, hated it when i first started as a young'un she'd be on the phone to the pit when she heard a serious accident happened, showed me right up she did And no i wasn't a Bevin boy or Pony driver ya bastards
