=======================

the heritage railway movement is a big part of many peoples lives - young and old.

i am pleased they are not being shut down.

however , much more CO2 is produced by the many thousands who visit the railways and by those who travel to watch the mainline specials - which are indeed special .

there is talk of a green coal - mixing in the like of avacado kernels .

:)



I seem to have a bag of that right here!

Except mine's made from olive stones. And disappointingly, the stuff inside the bag is black, not green :)

It says on the bag "made in the UK". I guess there must be olive plantations hidden around England somewhere that I have never noticed.
