    I wasnt sure mate. So looked it up. Can mean any fossil fuel including coyl. Apparently.

    Depends on which article you read. Like the one below. Copied.

    Coal is referred as black gold because, it is black in colour and as like gold it also benefits economically and, both gold and coal come through mines.

    Petroleum known as liquid gold.

    I suppose it makes more sense cos they’re both solids.
    Anyway, my mission today is to find some Hillbillies episodes on some obscure channel or I might have to get on eBay for the odd dvd

    A cobble of coal is what we used to call a single piece.

    My dad used to know the different seams from Darfield Main. When we got a delivery of winterbed seam we had to sit by the back wall, because it was so hot. Good for smelting steel.

    Not quite, X11 - anthracite is the name for a type of coal that used to be mined before “she whose name we do not speak” got her way with the industry. There were several other types.

    So not a generic term for a lump o’ coil.

    I would have thought that “ a piece of coal “ has already been mined and anthracite is the type that is mined.

    Anthracite is a type of hard coal which was mostly mined in S Wales I think .
    Carbon is an element that is soaked up by mainly by plant and that is why it’s found in coal .
    Not sure there is a generic term I think coals coal and that it , all rest are either derived from or types of coal .

    I was assuming (wrongly) that anthracite was almost ALL the coal mined in the UK but apparently it’s not.
    So I am wrong !

    Didn’t want you to form a coalition against me

    It’s a shame we can’t save some of this hot weather to mix with the cold weather in winter cos no one will have any money for heating
