Anyways, next time you hear someone say something is like gold dust to them, you know it’s something they treasure and relish.
It must be something that’s hard to come by, remember. Not something you can have everyday.
All right, media examples:
1. Miner’s wife and support group activist Barbara Williams, from Rhondda, described how their work surprised many of their men folk - and how the struggle ultimately proved to be a springboard for many like her.
She said: “The memory doesn't go away. It’s as if it was a few weeks ago.”
The 20 years separating the start of the miners’ strike in 1984 and a freezing winter’s day in 2004 have not lessened Mrs Williams’ crystal clear recall of the days which changed her life.
Her husband Gordon was an electrician at Maerdy colliery at the top of the two Rhondda valleys when the strike began.
Within weeks, she found herself secretary of the newly-formed Maerdy Women's Support Group.
It followed a meeting called by the local National Union of Mineworkers lodge specifically for the wives and women relatives of the striking miners - a first, in Mrs William’s recollection.
She said: “We had to form a committee. Somebody said, you need a treasurer and secretary and my friend said, put your hand up and get involved.
“At the start, no-one would have envisaged that it would have been a year-long strike.
