General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Miners and their next of kin who got payments as a result of illnesses and injuries sustained underground deserved every penny for what what they or their Fathers endured in the course of their job.

My Father-In-Law was injured in a pit fall and only lived because he was so big and strong and two Uncles who got coal dust on their lungs.

If some think that Miners and their relatives have received some easy money, I suggest they pay a visit to the Mining Museum near Wakefield and go underground and find out what a hard live it was in terrible working conditions.
