  2. Explanation here Basically (1) ecky = hecky = Hell. (2) thump is a substitute word used where a swear word would be inserted: “What the thump have you done!” So a rough translation is "Bloody Hell"

  3. I heard 'A Gob like Totley Tunnel' many years ago! I think it's a regional thing, a friend of mine from Liverpool used to say, 'A Gob like the Mersey Tunnel'. Wazzie Worrall.....

  4. I seem to remember "ekky thump" as a saying. I think it means something along the lines of "blooming heck"

  5. Yes it was Silverwood Colliery, Thrybergh, Rotherham; I used to work there. They replaced the name Silverwood with a fictional Clayfield Colliery, At the time of filming, coal production had ceased and most of the workforce had been made redundant. Just a few workers and management were left to do salvage and prep for full closure. Some of these men appeared as extras in the film, eg stretcher bearers.
