Ding dong the witch is dead

Still the main thing is you're ok.

Yes, yes it is.

Do you expect every Welsh Miner to throw down their pick axe and embrace the new technological world and cry "thankyou Maggie for destroying my way of earning a living and opening my eyes to the career I really should have chosen"

I didn't say anything about being happy about it, just that that is what they needed to do. Plenty of people learn new things, even into their old age, why not a miner? I'm not prejudiced, I think they had every right to embrace a new world and not bemoan the passing of an old one for 30+ years.

Of course you don't care about Thatcher the destroyer, you weren't there and it didn't affect you. In fact you think it benefited you as you can't see the repurcussions that are still going on today.

I know I come across as being on another planet sometimes, but I don't think I really am, especially not when I was 9. I was at school during the teachers strikes and when they switched from O levels to a mish-mash prior to GCSE's, it was a mess so excuse me for thinking it did affect me. It just didn't STOP me.

By the way your wonderful technology isn't worth a wank without fossil fuels to power it
