No, I only use coal that is delivered by a slatternly cockney child worker.
He wont see 20 but he's lovable and cheeky with it. |

Was in Connemara at the weekend and the amount of turf, bagged up and ready to go, along the side of the roads was amazing. Made me realise what a cynical and suspicious place where I live has become. You can't leave your bins out in the East of the country without someone nicking them

Not wanting to split hairs, but that chart is really about efficacy, not efficiency. You're literally comparing 1 tonne of turf to 1 tonne of oil, while ignoring cost -- a huge factor. Last edited by A Tyrant Named Miltiades!; 08-07-2019 at 18:36. |

I used turf for many years and know I got less heat per £ than I do from any other source. |

Our family have cut turf for over 200 years, even under the British landlords, so our E.U. landlords and the Green Party gob****es can piss off if they think we are going to stop now

I find it very cost efficient,E300 for 300 yards = 220 bags,more than enough to heat the living room stove for the year, E500 of kero for the rads,job done.

My family use turf from my fathers bog, he can still cut it but only a matter of time before it's stopped.
The smell of a turf fire is something from my childhood and even adulthood that I'll always love but God I'm glad I'll never have to empty out a fire in my house (no chimney, gas boiler). I think it should be consigned to the past, our ancestors used to go around on donkey and cart but we gave that up didn't we? Even just to protect the bogs and the wildlife. It doesn't have to be doom and gloom, theres good reasons to do it and should be supports to help reluctants to switch over. |
