Miners Strike 1984

[Chrispy Porker]

I was at Cotgrave in 1984.
If it's not too inflammatory, anyone want to know what really happened there?

[Milky Joe]

No

You pulled a local lass on the first night & visited regularly on subsequent postings ?

I blame it on the rather good wine he must have had at lunchtime. Well done though, Von.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

I don't see the relevance to an automotive topic with this.

I'll be happy to move it to P&P, along with all the dross that exists there.

[Milky Joe]

Well that's you told CP.

[B17NNS]

I'd be interested to hear yes

[R5GTTGaz]

Don't tell me, its all Maggie's fault.

[Chrispy Porker]

I thought I posted it on SPandL !

In response to an earlier closed thread.

To VH No. Not me.

Why, are you the only one that knows?

There has been Mrs Thatchers story, Arthur Scargill story, and about 500 others in between. And, don't tell me, you're the only one thats right.

[MikeyT]

Yes, go on, tell us what happened ... then the right wingers can pile in with their version of events (all south of Watford)

[Yugguy]

Mothers gave quotes like "I'd spit on my son's grave if he crossed a picket line."

I thought to myself "and that mindset is why I'll never vote Labour."

A lot of that mentality is still rife on the railway - its the main thing that ruins working on it for me.
