My house used to be the colliery (coal mine) manager's house. There's coal randomly all over the place when you did the garden... also random bits of railway since a train used to run literally 5m away. Maybe I could do a bit of mining.

Have a couple of sacks lurking in an outhouse too, shall flog it on the black market

Don't bother since can't get house coal anymore. That smokeless stuff is carp.

Curiously enough, I passed a coal merchant's lorry the day before yesterday.

And it had actual coal on it.

In bags, like.

Though it may just have been some sort of time slip, as featured on the Blaze channel.

What the squirrel version of Grindr? It is working a treat he can even afford to pay bricklayers after parking.

I always said he'd make it.

Alas not.

How did that search engine work out? Only the real Lucifer Box would know about that.

I think I shall trigger some greentards by getting in a hundredweight of coal.

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't got rid of the chimneys.

And a very poor liar.

Every time he opens his mouth I sing -

If you going to liar politician be like Thatcher or Bliar.

Of course there's all the extra costs this will impose on shops and producers and others, driving up prices. Just what we need at the moment. Think I'm starting to move towards the view that Blow Job is an idiot.

Not stopping at weights & meaures, how about getting rid of VAT and going back to good old Purchase Tax. That'd be A Real Shock to the system.

Especially since it had rates that went up & down like a whore's knickers with a top rate of 100% on occasion. .

Here's the 1971 rates:

https://api.parliament.uk/historic-h...f-purchase-tax

Purchase tax shall in future be charged at 10 per cent., 15 per cent., 30 per cent. and 50 per cent., respectively, on all goods to which the present rate of l3i per cent., 22 per cent., 36 per cent. and 55 per cent. apply.

For most of the financial year 1951–52, mink coats and diamond rings were chargeable with tax at 100 per cent. They are now chargeable at 25 per cent. Motor cars were chargeable at 66⅔ per cent., and are now chargeable at 50 per cent.

I wonder what erotic writing would be like in Metric?

She fumbled with his jeans eager to grasp his member, as the zip dropped she realised he was packing a full 7 cm...
