on a slightly different slant, do the words "Orgreave Colliery" even mean anything to 20-something's these days?

I'm not a 20-something, but I don't know what that is. My view of the UK is an American one (so not all that well informed)

my image of the UK in the 70s-80s is Monty Python, Margaret Thatcher, Dr. Who, the royal family, etc.

add in the 3-day week, lots of IRA bombs, riots, and strikes, and you're close. Also The Goodies were way more popular than Python.

what happened to Dr. Who, by the way? I saw an episode from a recent season and was horrified.

it petered out in the 80s and was revived around 2010 as the BBC's flagship drama (rather than the cheap kids' show it used to be)
