Never fear - you'll have a few thinkers left over at the end of this WRQ, methinks. 😖

Yes, in my opinion you can shove the coal carrying one where the sun don't shine.

I wouldn't mind about that and all jokes aside, my family history has been linked to coal mining. My Mums side worked in the pits for years and years. In a different part of the country, my dad' relatives were pit workers. Ray's family were the bargees who carried the coal all over the country. 

For all that, I never once heard of a coal carrying competition. rofl
