Yes may be we should all go back to open fires, and the old coalman an everyday sight,

the only thing is the dust you make when you clean the fire place out still i can stand a bit of dust if its going to save money
 and if i could get this little man to breath fire it would be an easy way to light it

The trouble is that so many of us now reside in "Smokeless Zones", and the coal you can buy (At £12 per cwt.) comes from Poland. It has been imported at great expense, whilst we, the silly British, live on top of massive coal reserves in our own country.
Where's the sense in that?

I know it's imported and comes into the Port of Immingham that is about 12 miles from where I live, the poor town of Immingham has a constant covering of coal dust from the mountains of coal you should just see them,the residents have complained constantly but nothing is done it's all about money isn't it.

That old saying about "Carrying coals to Newcastle" springs to mind.

Almost all my own work, Marie, using the pre-drawn help of templates.
