TOMMY TWO STROKE ::
RE; FATHER AS i stated he did not recieve a penny in redundancy pay all he got was SSP back in the day we called sick pay .I along with my late bro tried to claim the money's that were being doshed out in the 80s ,alas and are you ready for this after visitiNG ANDY BURNHAM UMPTEEN TIMES WE WERE WER TOLD THAT MY FATHER DID NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY MONEY DUE TO THE DEAL THE NUM MADE WITH THE TORY GOV WHICH WAS ::
FOR A MINER TO RECIEVE THESE PAYMENTS THEY HAD TO HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED BY THE N.C.B BETWEEN THE YEARS 1950 1954 . After nationalisation he went to work for a private mine owner at QUAKER HOUSE COLLIERY IN ASHTON-IN-MAKERFIELD . HE LATER WORKED AT N.C.B. PITS AFTER 1955 BUT MISSED OUT OF THE QUALIFYING PERIOD . THIS I SAID AFTER WORKING DOWN THE MINE SFROM THE AGE OF 13 TO 64 HE GOT RAG ALL AND WE GOT RAG ALL TOO FOR OUR MOTHER . I did hear about miners getting 80/90/100 of thousands of pounds because they worked in that period the whole affair has left our family with a bitter tatse ,I even wrote to GORDON BROWN (P.M) When they were dishing out medals to ( BEVAN BOYS ) Thanking them for thier service asking for a medal for my father in recognition of giving his life to the country all those years and guess what , NO REPLY ,NO COMMENT, WROTE TO BURNHAM COUNTLESS TIMES RESULT BUGGER ALL , long live great britain my backside ,have a nice day stay safe G.B. BYE!
