If you want to argue this with them it's up to you, but the amount of charcoal i go through if i was getting over charged £1.50 per bag it would soon add upto a reasonable amount.

Luckily i haven't had to buy any charcoal for a while

Only heating fuel is 5%

If iris aeled restaurant aroal, you probably won't get away with it

Blame the iPad

I take that back. Checked the hmcr website and solid fuel for domestic use is 5%, but for business use is 20%. So bigk are on the ball if they're delivering to a domestic address.
