Not a mark on him.

Put my last (my very last) peat briquette on the fire there. End of a glorious era.

You done well. What did the last bale cost you?

Again you did well. There was a lot of gouging going on with stuff stock piled. I know a lad with a pallet of 128. He’s donating it for a fundraiser.
My mother bought them at 17p.
