Buy coal – win fabulous prizes!
Woman's Weekly / 30th May 1969
This competition is quite something. We have to imagine a world where solid fuel was in common enough use for a competition to be based on its usage, and of course, open fires were still widely used in 1969. In fact, my aunt was still using an open fire up until the late ’80s, but she was unusual, and she used wood rather than coal. Also, it’s a kind of competition that’s rarely seen nowadays, as it assumes that the entrant has the time and energy to leap through the hoops required for this one!
