I've seen it Brian, probably trying to get a reaction and start an argument. Some good replies though.

No, not heard anything about Johny Goulding, he's on a photo above this one at the Golborne memorial. If you're on Facebook there are photo's of the memorials on the Golborne Ex Miner's site.

Jimmy Cunliffe, on the extreme left of this photo, managed to free me when my foot became trapped by one of the hydraulic roof supports on one of the plodder faces. The roof had fallen behind the support, but jimmy managed to move it back enough to free me.
