You have three guesses as to who the miner is in this photograph. Grandpa has taken up the typical pitman's posture, he is on his 'hunkers.' - "sitting with the balls of the feet upon the ground and the knees bent, so that the thighs rest on the calves of the legs. This was habitual to pitmen from the nature of their underground work, and the conditions under which it was performed."
