Not what l'd caII a light traveIIer
are you, pet?
Sorry, it's mainIy work.
l wouIdn't apologise for having work,
flower. Not round here.
What's this then?
It's just a flugeI, a trumpet.
some practice in.
In here, you mean?
-Well, wherever.
-I wouldn't mind. Don't get me wrong.
There's nowt l'd like better than
to hear you pIaying all night long.
-Oh, no. lt wouldn't ...
-You heard of Grimley Colliery Band?
Yes, I have.
They've their own practice haII.
I should get myseIf down there, pet.
They'd weIcome someone like you
with open arms, knowing them.
Another?
lt's a sad oId day, isn't it Vi?
When it's finaIIy come to this.
-What's that then Ida?
-Jim and Ernie packing in the band.
They're doing it, then?
For definite?
Last practice tonight, Ernie said.
Then resigning after.
No point in carrying on, is there?
Pit goes, band'll go t'same way.
I feeI sorry for oId Danny, mind.
He'lI gave bugger all to do.
-We'lI all have bugger all to do, Vi.
-You get used to it.
-All right, Iove?
-Aye, all right.
Don't forget what you're doing,
you Iads.
Don't be handing over any
kitty money.
-Just resignations.
-Aye, all right, pet.
-WeII, mind you do.
-What do you mean "mind you do"?
-It was our decision, wasn't it love?
-Aye, well...
just mind you do.
Now let's get this right, Ernie.
When he collects for t'kitty,
we say:
sorry Danny, but us two...we've decided,
in t'present cIimate...
to tighten our belts, Iike, and onIy
spend money on essentiaI items.
Sorry. lt's been
good and all that...
but now, we don't regard band as one
of t'aforementioned essentiaI items.
And regretfuIIy, we feel obliged
to tender our resignations forthwith.
-Right?
-Right.
And then we wake
up in CasuaIty.
If he goes barmy, it's not
our fauIt.
-l mean what's t'worst he can do?
-Have a heart attack?
What the hell, if Danny
doesn't like it...
-boIIocks to him.
-All right, Iads?
Oh, all right, Danny mate?
Sixty years between us, you and me,
down t'pit, frightened of nowt.
When it comes to telling Danny-boy
we're packing t'band in...
and coming up later in the news...
continuing our regular reports on the
Government's pit closure programme.
which despite being one of the oIdest
and Iargest mines in Yorkshire...
has nevertheless become the most
recent candidate for closure.
AIthough the GrimIey miners, and
their wives, seem very determined...
to fight on and keep
their pit open...
a redundancy offer to the workforce
is believed to be imminent.
The miners, united,
will never be defeated.
The miners, united,
will never be defeated.
Offers at neighbouring pits recently,
have been too attractive to ignore.
ln the last few weeks, 7 pay-off
packages have been offered to 7 pits.
All accepted,
leading to 7 cIosures.
TroubIe is, I'm no bIoody happier
when I'm winning.
DoubIe or quits?
No, best not.
Cheer up Andy.
Representatives of union
and management...
Grimley redundancy offer.
Bloody going
to though, in't it?
-See you.
-See you.
Don't be a
piIIock all your Iife.
Take t'money
while it's stiII on offer.
A lot of foIk out there wouldn't Iike
to hearthe way you're talking, love.
Aye, and they're alI as daft
as you are.
AlI end up with nowt.
Just Iike us.
Philip.
Late for practice.
-We'll taIk about it later, eh?
-Later?
You'lI stiII be saying Iater when
We're out on't bloody street.
