It's making me want to say something about miners' strikes by way of reaction

Darth, you don't even know what a miner is. You just heard it on a programme about the 70s once.

My infant school was down a mine. You try answering 2 + 2 by drawing a 4 on a rock wall with some coal. You don't know you're born. Etc.
