    I’m a uni lecturer and researcher myself -mainly in industrial design / innovation / service design. I originally worked as a designer in manufacturing sector. I now work quite a bit with NHS teams, to improve/redesign healthcare services to be more people/person-centred.

    My dad ran the Art College in Barnsley, until it went tertiary and got merged into everything else (Barnsley College etc) My mum’s family ran the Cross Inn pub in Royston for a while.

    He's taking us all to hell in a coal bucket.

    Not really the truth. I think it is better than burning coal, but still not the long term answer. We really all need to sit at home, do now't & not eat anything, or have sex & we'll be reight.

    Joke post, but there is some reality in it....

    No mate, all the volatiles are removed(Tar, Benzol, ammonia among other things) during the process then separated . We are left with a really clean burning product:D
