    OK with me. But I have actually heard them on the radio a few times recently.

      Oh, good point.

      Who is not on the radio any more either? What about Hurricane Smith? No hold on, he wasn't a band. The Osmonds?

        This is reminiscent of the 1970's.

          It was recently put to me that the reason Thatcher hated the North so much was that was where unions were strong.

          Funny thing about that though, the strikes which affected me in the 1970s and early '80s were all in either nationalised industries or the public sector (ambulances, buses, council workers, coal and steel come to mind, plus a few government departments). Ford, Vauxhall and the newspapers are the only examples of private industry on strike that I can remember, and they didn't cause me any grief that I recall.

          Something doesn't add up.
