    Opencast mining will end at Orgreave in South Yorkshire, the site of the infamous pitched battle between police and miners during the 1984 strike.

    If you ever come to south yorkshire, don't mention the strike Mr Fawltey!

    Also scrub police add unmarked paras and it would be more accurate.

    They dared mention in Rotherham's Millennium project a few years back and apparently it caused a lot of upset
