Was just talking about this with my grandad who worked the NE mines all his working life as a supervisor and pit rescue, one of the 1st on the ground after the Easington 1951 disaster which is why a lot of the deep mines aren't open today, just too uneconomical to do safely anymore without actually knowing what or how much will be found, opencast is safer and in most cases easier to usebigger equipment.

We just don't have the reserves some other countries have that are easily accessible anymore.

It's sad to see the unemployment created and generations who have worked these mines cast aside

You ain't half a numpty at times. Why start another thread when we've got one running on the subject?

 

Let's hope one of the mods can join the two threads together.
