By the way, don't bother with the film or any of the DVDs of HGWMV, none of them come anywhere near the beauty, pathos or passion of the book. And there are of course beautiful descriptions and all done in a Welsh way of speaking which is done beautifully and not clumsily, feels authentic and was probably quite surprising at the time.It was no doubt a true enough refection on how badly miners and other such workers were treated in those days, it really made me glad not to live in such crappy, hopeless times.
