      I think the other two are probably new hires.

      A coal miner with his family, one of whom is also a coal miner despite still being a child.

      Eh, more descriptive, but it’s a bit long for a title.

    So is it a man with his 3 kids, one that works with him? Or is the one guy just really tall?

      Not sure Welsh miners cared all that much about America.

        Oh gee, I was unaware that Americans followed an entirely different business model.

          Oh gee, I was unaware that there’s a requirement to bring up and shit on America even when it’s completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

          It’s fucking tiresome.

              Okey I’ll bite. Doesn’t matter where you were, being working class back then wasn’t that great.
