6 cubic metres of coal - free or cheap!
Hello!
I have at least 6 cubic metres of coal in central London which we found in a coal hole! The property is near Paddington station so easy to find! Make me an offer ! (but there is no reserve so you might get it very cheap or even free of charge) It looks like top quality house coal and has been there for about 30 years (it would have been used in a coal boiler for the central heating system in a small block of flats). You can park a lorry outside in our car park, but you will need to bag it and carry it up 1 flight of steps. If you have a hoist on your lorry you could use that ! Any offers? Lightman |

One carrier bag per weekday on the 17:54 to Reading? |

The best thing to look forward to is non-stop The Two Ronnies on ITV3. I wonder how much of the rise in suicides at christmas is down to the TV schedules? Owain If the best thing thats on is the two johnnies..then definitely. Id certainly top meself rather that watch stiff that wasn't that funny in 1967 when it first appeared.. |

Is it located near a canal? Boaters often burn coal. Ask on uk.rec.waterways. Another place you might (only might, mind) find an outlet is gardeners. There was an article on an Horizon programme about research into a long gone civilisation in South America that said the farmers used charcoal on their farmlands. You might find it on a search engine if you are savvy enough. I would like to try some or some coal dust on my borders. I bet a local allotment holder would be interested. Try Garden Web or uk.rec.gardening or rec.gardening. |
