IanM>Just curious--was there a notable racial component to this? (regards miners strike, north/south divide)
Hi Ian. No, thankfully there was no race issues really in this matter, more a case of class divide really. I'd expand further, but a) I'm not particuarly well educated and b) we're well off topic! I have a few friends who's entire familys were miners (many many generations), and because the strike wasn't so long ago they have first hand stories to tell. One friend, who is quite alot older than me, was a "Flying Picket" at 15, supporting his dad, grandad, uncles, cousins etc. mad crazy stories. hard times for a lot of people. and a bit of a scandal, but, well, thats another story and we're sooooo far off topic : ) _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
