Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ALL POWER to the elbows of two former Scottish miners who have used their generous redundancy payments from the National Coal Board and a loan of £8,000 from NCB Enterprise to set up in road transport. I just hope they took professional advice before embarking on perhaps the most difficult of all branches of road haulage — parcels delivery.

It is one that causes the National Freight Consortium's biggest problems and has witnessed the eclipse of Atlas Express.

Nevertheless, two keen young men, removed from the grime and danger of the pits, have every incentive to succeed on their own while their workmates squander their energy and savings in a hopeless battle at the pit gates.
