The ironic thing was that despite living on top of coal, it was imported from China. They'll copy anything

I lived in a place called Coalburn for twenty years .
It was well named as the whole area floated on a sea of top quality coal.
There were various opencast mines around the place .

I complained to my coalman that the coal was very poor quality and he said (I know !! It comes from Poland).

Complete madness.

Steve, I was talking to a mate yesterday who also has a caravan and the topic moved around to your mis-hap.
He asked if you were in the CC as apparently they offer a chauffeur service to take you and the van home in such circumstances.
