Speaking of miners, I see Arthur Scargill is still doing okay

I remember the 1970s and the 3 day week and the power cuts and some idiot who was the minister of energy being on the TV explaining to the common people of this land of mine. That you should save energy. He gave a great example to us by demonstrating that you should turn the lights off to save power, even whilst having a shave. Typical tory idiot was shaving with an electric razor plugged in.
