WNU Service warns against poking at a fire bed from above with a poker. This causes ashes to mix with live embers and forms clinkers that choke the fire and clog grates. Packable coal lumps hinder air flow, reducing burning efficiency. Gentle grate shaking can drop clinker into the ashpit.
An old gentleman aboard a railway carriage bores fellow travelers with tales of his success. When the ticket collector arrives the man hands over a ticket and reads it aloud.
