You can go to Disneyland Paramount and all the rest but is the current state of affairs could the TRNC government get that nostalgia for a themed three day week experience re live all the fun of the Heath government & the NUM ) ) ) )

"The Heath government entered into negotiations with the NUM, to no avail. To reduce electricity consumption, and thus conserve coal stocks, a series of measures were announced on 13 December 1973 by Heath, including the "Three-Day Work Order", more commonly known as the Three-Day Week, which was to come into force at midnight on 31 December. Commercial consumption of electricity would be limited to three consecutive days each week.[1] Heath's objective was business continuity and survival. Rather than risk a total shutdown, working time was reduced with the intent of prolonging the life of available fuel stocks."

I remember it well! I also remember that the birth rate went through the roof; message 2 - that would probably account for it

Oh Jeannie, I must admit I have been wondering if there is going to be a baby boom later this year, what with HRT, Sanatogen tonic wine, Pro Plus and of course that little blue pill, who knows!

But it won't be in our house .
