Talking memories in the pub last night and someone initially mentioned carrying oil to service the shearer in fire buckets, I then remembered some of the other containers that we had been forced to use in the absence of proper transporters, plastic bread bags, pit helmets with screws of paper to block the ventilation holes, paper sacks were a Godsend, even snap tins and water bottles. (The task of completely filling an AB16” haulage end with only a 15 fluid ounce Lucozade bottle and the 45 gallon oil barrel being 400 yards down the gate is hardly a matter to be taken lightly) It seems that every job in a coalmine had a weakest link; hence;
Who is…………………………..; A tub short of a full run, A cutter pick short of a drumfull, A joint short of a belt repair, Trying to cut with blunt picks, Not worth a chow of bacca,
Whose…………………………..; Dudley is empty, Pay-packet is a shift short, Lamp is working on pilot light only, Jib is a foot in the floor,
Who is as much use as…………..; A pill of powder without a det., A chisel without a hammer, An electrician without a diode, A water note in an inrush, As a three foot Dobie in a six foot seam, or a sixfoot Dobie in a three foot seam, A manager’s promise, A ripper’s vest, . . . A miner without a mine!!

I trust and hope that things will improve here. Lots of sites get slow through the spring/summer/autumn period Daz, winter and the cold miserable weather either brings 'em here, or drives them to the pub! Stick around Daz and finish your Spanish exploits! The membership is getting longer, or should that be bigger, oh well, hope some of them start posting! Me??? Been very busy Daz, missus keeps finding me too much to do, hopefully within the next few weeks, my workload will slow down so as I can "play" out here more often mate!
