Between October 1978 and February 1979 Britain experienced a wave of strikes on a scale that hadn't been seen since the General Strike of 1926. First Ford workers, then lorry drivers, council workers and NHS staff all walked out causing severe disruption to public services. This series of events came to be known as "the Winter of Discontent". This phrase, borrowed from Shakespeare's play Richard III, and the events it described continue to have considerable impact on British culture even now.
