'False economy' at 50p for 10kg?

Christmas presents sorted :wink:

Have I slipped through a worm-hole into the 1930s?

When I were a lad, we ad good British coal, it were grand, this cheap foreign coal tastes crap

cheap steel now cheap coal...just waiting for cheap oil now :confused:

:confused: That is a real bargain :confused:

Oh forgot to say... toasty warm heat given! :laughing:

bargain!! well spotted

run this coal to the blacksmith in firelink shrine and he will infuse some stuff for you

Christmas presents sorted :wink:

Terrible stuff. lots of smoke and breaks down far to quickly into sludge.
False economy.

Brilliant, that's just what I need for my steam powered dildo.

​More like 10 bob. 5 shillings would be 25p!

It caused terrible pollution, smog so thick you could barely see through it at times. But you cant beat a big Coal fire for the warmth and the sheer look of it, we had a back boiler in the living room and now and then the water in the tank would get that hot it would start to boil an we used to have to run and turn the hot water taps on in bathroom and kitchen.

Damn it , cant get down there because I have just had a few drinks. However worth noting this is in the Edinburgh area which is a council designated smokeless zone. That still doesn't stop some of the clowns that stay in my area from burning full fat coal from their smelly stoves, and stuff everyone else who are coughing their lungs out. Its like being on Woodbine fags.

not cheap enough its been going up as of late.

Yes, because you have to use ten times as much to last the same time as decent coal. Also, very smokey and coats the chimney quickly meaning you need to get the chimney stack brushed more frequently meaning more cost.

Does that make it easier to understand? :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh I understood you perfectly the first time, I just thought you were talking pants.
I don't believe for a second you need 10 times as much. :smirk:
I don't deny that it isn't going to be the best quality coal, but buying a few bags of coal for 50p each isn't going to cause an increased chimney cleaning nightmare.
Indeed the softer dustier coals are actually better for keeping the fire in overnight.

10 times as much? I call BS. Sounds like someone is butt hurt they can't get coal this cheap

It is false economy - I made a journey to my local store, they didn't have any, but I ended up spending £50 on all sorts of stuff I didn't realise I needed! Lol :laughing:

This stuff should be banned. Causes havoc in terms of local pollution

GAH!! Anyone near there that's coming down to Northampton, pick me up twenty quids worth and I'll give you thirty.

Seriously though, I would love this to be local to me, sadness.

2p litre?
It was 99.09p a litre here 6 weeks ago, now 108.9p - up 9p in a month and a half! :confused:
Barstewards and F. Osborne always wanting more! Nothing good for joe public ever lasts for long today. Except hot deals of course!:smile:

Heat added :smile:

Don't give a toss about the smoke. More smoke the better. Don't care about the chimney either. It's all brick any build up will eventually burn away. Bargain.

Non where I live, but great find and post. :smiley:

You do realise oil has gone back up to 46 a barrel from 32 don't you or to you not follow any news only what happens on HUKD.

So you're an expert on them I presume. I know exactly how they start I've been burning solid fuel for ten years.

If you think bricks burn it shows how stupid you are.

Ahem.......50p equals 10 shillings!

What's the "use by" date on this coal.?.....as it is 10 million years old already.

I will make a note of that.

I always think this when it's cheese that says aged for five years or something then it's got a use by of next week. Because after five years and a week, things really start to kick off.

Sorry to disappoint you pokettens,but...The conditions that would eventually create coal began to develop about 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period. Not 4500 years ago! Lignite coal is the lowest rank of coal. It has carbonized past the point of being peat, but contains low amounts of energy—its carbon content is about 25-35%. It comes from relatively young coal deposits, about 250 million years old. Do yourself a favour and READ what history tells us.There were NO Carboniferous rainforests 4500 years ago any more than there are now. Man was not around when these were formed. He comes along a few million years after these events.

Why would I think that bricks burn? However, you remain an idiot if you think the soot and tar will just burn off and cause no damage.

And yes, I do know a bit about chimney fires. My cousin has been a fireman for 20 years and told me all about them, and I had to call the Fire Brigade out to a neighbor after noticing she had a chimney fire and she refused to call them saying the same thing as you; "that the fire would burn itself out".
That delay cost her half her roof and a lot of blown plaster.
