Ah the warm dancing flames of a bedroom fireplace. Sitting around the soft glow of embers in the kitchen toasting crumpets on long forks. Roasting chestnuts on a coal scoop by the living room fire on a cold winters night. Doesn't that sound romantic? Not bloody likely. It was a right royal pain, filling scuttles in the freezing coal shed of a morning, emptying ashes, cutting kindling. I much prefer to push a button to keep warm. <br /> <br />The demise of steam is all very sad but I doubt many engineers regretted losing the romance as they sat back in their comfy heated diesel cabs.
