Got me wondering out of curio on the board, and know it was more widespread than South Wales, Mid Glamorgan..did any go throu the 1984/85 miners strike as I did with my man, and two young children?

If any did as part of history and the coal eventually ended, would like to hear you thoughts? Or if you was not affected how you felt..bit of incite into history for the mines and Welsh people who relied on the pits for wage as in decades past.
