          Agreed! I wish the miners had won, with Scargill being replaced. I admire him for how far he took it, but he did wreck their chances in the end... too bloomin' vain to drop his Commie ideology for the sake of the men and communities.

          Anyway, all a bit academic now, I suppose.

            We don't need mining we have manufacturing...
            No I mean we don't need manufacturing we have the service economy...
            No I mean we now have the knowledge based economy...
            No that's almost gone too.

            Hang on, don't worry, we have the financial services industry.

              The problem is this country alone has not experienced really bad times economically. The US had the depression, the Germans had the rampant inflation in the Weimar Republic, and almost all other countries had their economies ravaged by war.
              The problem is we have it coming because we're too complacent. Only the other day Lucy described this economy as a powerhouse. Made me chuckle.
              Hard Brexit now!
