Bring back coal.... coal means health.  |
I'm with you on that one mate, can't beat the smell of burning coal in a morning when you open the door.
I come from a family of miners which stretch back hundreds of years. I remember the mornings when the smoke used to billow down the chimney when there was a wind.
Ah them were the days.
