fatrajah   10 #1 Posted September 23, 2019 Anybody remember how long it lasted? I walked to & from school several times but eventually got fed up (it was at least 3 miles away). The strike lasted several weeks & I seem to remember it was maybe 6 weeks long but surely that can't be right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I remember that because our school was over 3 miles away and we walked but our teachers told us to thumb lifts, imagine that today ? I can't remember how long it lasted but it did seem a long time especially  when you were walking there and back each day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
