I was never brave enough to work underground and by the time I left school in 82 the pits were coming to an end.

What I can remember is being addicted to the news reporting the strike. Running battles with the police on horseback. Lorry drivers delivering/collecting with cages over their windscreens. Reports of the police waving their dockets in front of the miners. ''Scabs'' having their cars vandalised.

Any of you lot involved?
