Edgar Plaisted 
A personal causerie of the month in London, by a West Countryman who is living there 
E. J. Plaisted worked underground in the South Wales coal fields for twenty-five years until the lock-out of 1926, when he was obliged to look for work elsewhere. In a talk entitled ' I Remember', broadcast in February, 1936, he recalled some of the interesting episodes that had occurred during the time he had lived in South Wales and the West of England. 
He developed an interest in politics, both local and national, while he was still a young man. Until recently, when he moved to London, he was a member of the Bristol City Council, and he contested parliamentary elections for the Isle of Thanet in 1929 and Salisbury in 1935.
