“This will make the Grimsby Troll apoplectic, stories about COAL AT IMMINGHAM and WINDMILLS on the same day in the GT. How on earth will he survive the day? I do hope that someone near him is trained to put him in the Troll Recovery Position.
Oooooooooo the dust on the windowsills and the thought of those tall revolving structures. Just imagine coal dust being scattered by those huge revolving sails on the windmills. This overload could seriously damage Googy Baby's health ;-D”
