Yes. Am Welsh. Coal fires are still pretty common in the South Wales valleys. My Grandfather still gets free coal deliveries every other month due to his time working in the pits.

As in part off his pension is free coal for life?

Could ever have a lump sum or coal for life, he picked the coal as the cash payout was around £5000, which would cover the coal cost for about 3 years at the time. He's been having that for over 30 years at this point, pretty good deal!

What if he picked the lump sum and received a giant lump of coal worth £5000
