General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

i dont know of anyone getting more than £23,000 who worked in the pit for VWF & nationalised industries got well above that in fact a mate of mine worked on the water board driving the wagon & never touched a drill in his life , he got an offer of £38,000 which he refused & said he would take the next offer of £40,000 . i agree with jathbee & dont forget that the mining records were destroyed to make it very difficult for any miner to put any claim in , unlike other industries who put claims in & got everything . .
