Samuel Johnson said “A man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.” when referring to a life at sea. That blows this site out of the water, but we do love it. I also think you answer the question when you say "pit communities". My Grandad was a coal miner till he lost the fingers on his right hand in an accident. He did live in a community, and that was a help to him.
