It was about 5 bob a bag cheaper, but the problem was that if you bought a bag of coal off the the local coal merchant. You would get the best coal. Our coal was from the pit you worked at and wasn't deemed to be of the best quality. Yes I also remember the cwt tags, but that didn't mean a great deal apart from it was a cwt when it left the depot. Say no more.
