I am interviewing my friend's step-mother Pauline on Friday in Huddersfield. She worked for Standard for about three decades and is the niece of Arthur Skargill. I want to write up an article for Fireworks and John B is very keen. Deadline for material is 1st May.
So.....does anybody on here have any suggestions regarding questions you yourselves would like to ask? Let's keep miner's unions to a minimum. I want fireworks stories, not Thatcher bashing anecdotes. Although I'll squeeze at least one of those in. How can I not?!
Pauline worked as an office clerk and she is baffled as to why I would want to interview her but already I have been told several interesting tales though not from the horse's mouth, yet.
I am unsure which decades she worked through but she is retired now so I am hoping 60's 70's 80's and possibly through the spiralling 90's when they gave in to China and Black Cat. Sad times for me those were.
Over to you.
