"As for for the comment that I had never been near a pit, it may interest to know that sometimes during my school holiday's, I used to ride on my Dad's engine all over the Lancashire Coalfield to collect wagons from the various pits to Linneyshaw Moss for onward transit to Kearsley Power Station."

So you had a ride on your your dads train in your school holidays all over the Lancashire Coalfields. Does that make you a Pitman?
