I give up with you.
You are dafter than what you think!

Those figures are not for pit closures per year.
They are how many were operating at the end of the year!
Can you understand that???

" Based on these figures from the government about 290 mines closed under Wilson in all his time in office, and about 160 under Thatcher. Because the figures are based on year end totals of pits operating, it’s not possible to be precise, but the relative scale of those numbers is clear."

From here.
