A pithy attempt at humour there Jenga!

I know Barry Wallace is getting on but the saying "Coals to Newcastle" goes back long before him... and will certainly be lost on anyone born in the 80s or later who may not/will not be aware of the fine mining tradition of the North East...

Some light reading to give your comment context and substance...
