Across the board rising fuel costs.

2 week ago I purchased Surefire Ovoids price per bag £8.30. Returned this afternoon to purchase more, price per bag is now an incredible £9.45p per bag.

Regardless of what fuel folks use, we are always going to be ripped off over winter months, feel very sorry for our elderly and infirm!!

If you have the latter two close by to you, pop in and make sure they are safe and warm.

    I think this highlights one of the advantages of buying in bulk from a coal merchant. They tend to fix the price for a season - though I wouldn't be surprised to learn their suppliers are taking advantage of the weather, too.

    Either way, that is a despicable increase.

    As you know Mr B, using coals is new territory for me, I now have six bags @ a total 150 kilo to use over festive period, after this, back to 100% wood (which I need to split :() as log pile is depleting fast!

    It has been a useful learning curve, learned today to buy coals during summer months!
