[Talk-GB] Soild fuel

[Nick Allen]

Hi,

The main usage that I'm aware of is to do with the waterways network in the
UK. Many narrowboats, and others,  have solid fuel stoves on board, and buy
from Chandler's or narrowboats that work the waterways supplying gas,
solid fuel and other consumables.

Mapping the mobile suppliers would be difficult, add they mover on after a
few days,  but the Chandler's,  and petrol stations that supply the boaters
could do with a consistent tagging scheme.
