General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

ask anyone in the pits about their records & see wot you get gaffer . and ask them how difficult it was to make a claim & i,m sure there are some on here will tell you in no uncertain circumstances . it,s well known thatcher destroyed all the records as soon as the pits shut . most miners cant provide the proof because most of their workmates have died . so that link is insignificant & furthermore ciswo is there only to give advice on claims of which it,s nigh impossible as iv,e refered to up above .
