Well, yes, but since we don't use coal any more it has been "intelligently re-purposed" as a Yuletide Vocalist Sequestration and Humane Disposal Facility.
I won't bother you with all the details. Suffice to say that the processing is conducted with the maximum level of kindness and sensitivity compatible with termination with extreme seasonal prejudice.

@graeme-ogg LOL !!!! The Ogg Christmas spirit shines through. The poor souls had better pray the fall down the chute kills them quickly.

Don't be fooled by Graeme's shenanigans! He's really a Christmas Spirit kind of fellow. I lay you odds that the 'chute' leads to a soft landing in his wine cellar where they have a glass of wine and eggnog awaiting them. Some Santa cookies and for each caroler; a sugarplum dessert.

My, what a naive, trusting soul you are. Always wanting to see the best in people, despite all evidence to the contrary. I can only hope and pray that you are surrounded by caring people who can protect you from the harsher Darwinian (or do I mean Dickensian?) realities of human nature.
Meanwhile, I'll just get on with quietly excavating a second chute at the back door to my property. Rumour has it that our growing illegal immigrant community has cottoned on to the possibility of rich pickings this Christmas and have been seen in our public libraries frantically photocopying pages from the Oxford Book of Christmas Carols and the Harry Belafonte Songbook, and some are reported to be manufacturing harmonicas and banjos from stolen scrap metal and plastic.
I believe a backup . . um . . Humane Human Processing Channel may be required come December.

@graeme-ogg So Graeme; that's what your local newspaper, The GMT Rambler, meant when they ran an article cautioning about a scary miner problem over in Oggville. I mistakenly assumed they meant teenagers acting out.
