So are yoo saying that the only ones working in the pit, were the coal face workers ?

What about everyone else who worked in the pit, did none of them do any work ?

When Tonker worked in't pit, was he sat on his backside all day ?

It was a joint effort to get the coal out of the seam, and into the power station boiler, steam railway locomotive, into the domestic coal bunkers, gasworks, and every other industry which used coal.

That is why it was called King Coal LINK

So come on grimshaw, how about showing some respect, instead of being a left wing turd
