It was'nt unusual to find plenty of mines around Durham - there were no mines located in London as there was no space. Durham mines were particularly affected when the miners strike broke out whilst under Maggie Thatchers control. People had no money whatsoever and if the miners agreed to work they would have trouble getting there as other miners on strike would stand at the picket line and shout scum and throw eggs. But many didnt have a choice and had to suffer the trauma of fellow friends shouting unpleasent names at you.
