How many years bad luck if it is !!

Great Pictures took me back to the 3 day week period in 1973/4 ish when miners strike led to power cuts.

I was working in the car trade in Burton-on-Trent the Boss gave the salesman the option of being laid off or take it in turns to travel to Stoke-on-Trent and help with the demolition of an old Petrol Forecourt plus all the outbuildings including shop, old model railway building and toilet block.

It was great fun and the work lasted about 6 weeks all done with big sledge hammers and packing case levers.
At the time a new showroom was under construction at Burton so we then worked as labourers helping out with the roof concreting using a lightweight ash based product. Also shuttering the crash barriers on the sides etc.
That work lasted about another 3 months by that time a few salesmen had left and the strike was over. Of the original 5 salesmen 2 remained.
