It was 24/7 up until the mines closed.

I remember our (Welsh - are they ever not?) games teacher telling us about that. He was from a neighbouring village and he or his brother or whatever was meant to be playing them at football that day. Weird to think that. Sorry, can't play football, everyone's dead. :/
