They supply coal all right. I think Northovers are the contractors.

What I meant was that, for charity, a bag of coal and thanks is plenty - any money that is made goes to some good cause. (Air ambulance, West somerset Railway for steam restoration, to keep Yeovil Steam Centre going etc) Delighted to contribute a bit, if I can - I get a great weekend.

However, if they are making money on me, as a commercial venture, then that is different issue altogether. Then, as part of the overall attraction, my time and engine is worth something. (IMO)

So I go elsewhere.
