Bypassblade Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Will we ever get over it? Opines. Memories may get over it, communities ripped to pieces won't, families still not speaking that speaks volumes. I was not involved in the strike but was affected, but still collected food for parcels & money for them. I can say 77-80 I was a miner & worked side by side with them underground, probably the best set of men I have EVER worked alongside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
