    Coal-mining is/was, a horrible, dangerous job, but created very close communities. When those communities' jobs were threatened, the people themselves were too.
    My Dad was a miner up around Wigan, but he decided he didn't want to be a miner all his life, so packed it in and joined the Grenadier Guards. His Mum and Dad and siblings were dead against him then, but as he moved south, he wasn't faced with their wrath every day.

    The big problem when the mines closed, was that no new training or jobs were created.
