“Coal, Immingham, dust on windowsills, OMG this is where the troll began his endless moaning and he doesn't even live there. He was however eventually levered out from his Immingham job and his employers are still sighing and giggling with relief following his departure.
Undoubtedly this will set him off on a day of intense Googling eh Googy, hahahahahaha have a nice day ;-D”

“This could turn nasty if there is dust involved. I would think they will be there for sometime damping down long after any flames are extinguished. I know from experience a simple brazzier even after most of the fuel has been burnt will stay hot for days. Even if it rains, there is a chance of self ignition.”
