I have an important announcement regarding the Alan George site: it gets better and better!!

Take a look at the photos under Merthyr Vale Colliery section especially the one entitled: 'Young Workers.'
What a brilliant picture; it's worthy of an appearance in a national newspaper! I cannot stop chuckling over it.
Read the caption. Apparently the four young lads-new to the pit by all accounts, have just been advised that the pit is closing down and they no longer have any jobs! Their happy smiling faces! (Not funny really I know!).
I wonder who they were and if they are still alive?
