    I notice smokeless at Wickes has come down to £7.00 per 10 kg from £11.00 making it the same price as my coalman.......
    Still too dear IMO

    The price is the price. 25 + years ago our coalman supplied an equivalent of a 50 kg bag for £7.50. Now it’s 5 times more… so it’s only going up in price!

    Looks like supermarket is expensive compared to a coal merchant, unless you only want a few kg.

    Probably as heating season eases as Summer approaches and they want it gone. As has always been the pattern .
