[QUOTE="Retired, post: 446428, member: 29075"] Hi, Pit lamps would certainly bring back lots of memories if I was to see one now roys; on the old B&W movies showing workers underground the workers always wear their lamp on their safety helmet; during my time working underground I would walk to the job with the lamp in one hand tool bag in the other hand. Coming away from the job those at the bunker feeding the coal would drop my tool bag onto the conveyor belt shortly after I had jumped on for a ride to the pit bottom. One day whilst I was working underground at Hartley Bank Colliery during snap time I saw a young guy take his lamp to bits and was playing around with the bulb; immediately I came back on top I headed for the managers office to report the guy but the young guy had already been sacked and escorted from the colliery; This young guy had gone through the safety training before being allowed to work underground; he because of his actions put all our lives at risk and well deserved sacking. Working beneath our bungalow is rather like working underground so some kind of light is essential; its nice to have a bit of nostalgia thrown in for interest. Kind regards, Col. [/QUOTE]
