A) Truth B) Told

My Gran had a crony who lived in a terraced house, where 50 years ago the coal man would deliver the coal coming in the front door, take it through the house and put it in her cellar at the back. One day, the woman let her budgie out when the coal man came knocking, who was duly let in and allowed to get on with his delivery. After the coal man was finished, he was paid and went on his way. The poor budgie however, had snuffed it unknown to anyone, being flattened under the coal man's black sooty boot print. That was the first recorded casualty of a carbon footprint.
