Price of a bag of coal?

I pay £8.50 for a bag in my area, however, there seems to be somewhat of a monopoly in this area. I wonder if there is a great deal of variation in other parts of the country?
I would be grateful to learn the price in your area

    Last load of house coal we had delivered earlier this year was £110 per tonne, works out at £5.50 per 50Kg bag.

    Our coal man comes from Sheffield to deliver ours, local prices are £6-7 per bag.
  • Mine has gone up to £10 per 50KG sack of smokeless coke this week! :-(

    £5 for grade and its good stuff, most places round here are charging £6+ and some of the stuff isnt worth trying to burn, nutty slag my arze.
  • Just ordered some coal this morning. £8.25 for 50kg (hundredweight) bag of small lump coal or £10 for medium lumps which is supposedly excellent quality and premium for I think £12 which is even bigger lumps.

    I found burning wood was better well actually logs. Much cleaner and gives out far more heat than coal on our open fire. We now have a log burner in another chimney so we are using that as its not only clean, but far more efficient that a open fire.
