Nasty sag in the roof behind, or is that an optical illusion?

With the whole western world in dire straights financially, Is this not a diabolical waste of money as it only benefits the ego of a few clever people whose skills would be better spent on earth.

Depends if you are in a smoke control area. If not, British house coal large lumps works well, and if you riddle the last bits the small pieces can be packed around a log and will burn all evening. I had an open fire until recently and used the above mentioned coal, however, old age has made...
