Looks like it Malcolm, But there has been no figure stated I see I Wonder why that is?

While traveling though the countryside in the 1700's, a carriage is stopped by a highway man, He shouts "Stand and Deliver!" The wealthy Gentleman in the carriage did not know what he meant so asked "what do you mean", So the highway man said, "Your money or your life." The wealthy Gentleman says "hold on." and hops back into the carriage. Seconds later his wife then gets thrown out of the carriage and the wealthy gent says, "I will keep my money, you have the wife!" and the carriage rides off.

Happy Late Birthday Keith and Eileen, hope you enjoyed it.

Scargill was stupid and if he had given the members a national ballot he most likely would have gotten all the lads behind him as Joe Gormley did in 1981, but he chose to go up against thatcher without the support of his members, something which no trade union leader should ever do. Joe Gormley was the NUM's best leader of the NUM by the accounts of Ex Miners I have spoken to and he himself admitted it was wrong of him to stay as leader till 1982 and let Scargill take over, He said he should have retired earlier and not let Scargill become President. I can't remember the name of the bloke Joe Gormley did not want to become President of the NUM which is why he stayed on as President, you may be able to remember Willy.
