gillie, My grandfather was a coal miner in the Rhondda Valley in Wales. He had his hands crushed between the buffers of a dram. Dangerous work.

Player #9442102, We had a coal burning furnace in Seattle when I was growing up. Coal was delivered and put down a chute into the basement. My grandmother had to go outside and down to the basement to start the furnace every morning. I remember her cutting kindling to get the fire started. She was amazing!

Chicago in the 40's and 50's had mostly coal heat. There was a lot of dust on everything and a lot of, er, "stuff" in my nose all the time. I didn't realize until I grew up that it wasn't normal to have such a yucky nose!

dollis1963, diamonds are pure carbon, they don't actually come from coal (despite what superman movies show you)... coal contains a lot of minerals other than carbon.
