Kind of an odd saying, I'm 100% sure Newcastle uses gas for their grill and not a single fast food place uses charcoal grills. If you brought coal to Newcastle, they would have no use for such a thing.
Did you mean White Castle?
Oh shit I got confused...
In my defense, I've never heard of Newcastle until today.
That is the funniest response I've seen all week.
Holy shit ๐ฌ
It's an archaic saying but that doesn't mean that the meaning has been lost.
Almost the entire industrial revolution was coal powered and the most common fuel for heating homes was coal. Coal used to be an extremely popular and useful commodity.
Edit: I now see that you thought the town of Newcastle was the fast food chain White Castle lol. I did wonder why you were going on about grills!
What??
