My next-door neighbour had a coal shed when we were kids

I suppose it's possible. Coal fires were still around in Sheffield in the early 1970s.

The cooling towers at Agecroft Colliery only got blown up in the 90s

One day you could see them over the fields and the next day the whole landscape had been ruined

I can never understand why they demolished these wonders of modern engineering

I wish I wasn't, but I often am. People have told me I am but they don't look happy about it. You'd think they'd appreciate somebody who was always right.

Pride I guess. They don't want the truth, they want ego boosts and false hope for the future. I should be a politician seeing as how I know that, but I've got too much conscience.
