"Portishead radio has been on strike since 1300 BST on Monday (19th) but they must've come to some agreement because they started transmitting again today at 1900 BST. Good luck to 'em. I certainly wouldn't do their job for what they get. Or should I say got. About 2000 quid a year. Almost as bad as a technician with Marconi's."
Extracted from a letter to the Memsahib written while I was on Dalgleish's Oakworth.
The strike hadn't effected me all that much because we'd been in Port Kaiser (Kingston, Jamaica) loading alumina for Nema in Ghana and hadn't left until four that morning.
I'd completely forgotten about it, probably because it didn't effect me very much.
Does anyone remember any other strikes by Portishead or if this one had any major effect on them?
