- At last a man who needs coal! There's a guy here in Ol' Blighty you should
- ring, John Major (Chief Executive of UK plc) or his sidekick Heseltine.
- They'll give you 30000 miners, all the coal you'll ever need and a couple
- of coal fired power stations to boot. Free, gratis, for nowt. Just
- keep them open. You'll be doing the Free World (tm) a big favour.
