Miners.
Good job !!!!!
Would you want your children to do it ?
Things have moved on, I doubt they’d be laying down, the ceiling about four foot above them with a pick axe in their hand. There’d be a lot of button pressing and non human involvement at the sharp end. Obviously a lot fewer employees than the past but there would be some work for areas that badly need it.
The thinnest seam mined in South Wales was 2ft 6in i believe.
Hermit
Witchfinder
Spanish Inquisition
and....Centre Forward down the CCS (other stadia are available)
So be the question you’re asking is would you want your minors to be miners 😁

Pot mender.
I did the job for a fair few months in 2017 because I needed time to do something else which was very important. Worked for E on, gave me a van, money was bearable. As soon as I had done what I had to do I quit, and went back to my normal work. Some of the things I saw in the short time were real eye openers.
About 6 months later they made redundant (sacked) all my erstwhile colleagues because with the roll out of so many smart(?) meters they were no cost effective.

Paper tape in my early days.
My first proper job in Nat West Bank when I was past the making tea and doing the post stage was inputting the days work into a massive NCR machine which encoded a blue punch tape which was sent to a computer centre for overnight processing.
In those days if you paid money in or took it out at your own branch your account would not be updated until the following day.
If you used another branch or bank it took 3 days.
No ATM's in those day so it was useful to build up a good relationship with your local corner shop do you could cash a cheque if need be.
