Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

I was warmed by the newspaper reports of the case, last week, in which the owner of a coach was fined not only for having no psv or road service licence but for carrying a highly_ inflammable substance in a public service vehicle. The substance concerned was Calor gas carried in a cylinder in the boot and piped to a gas fire in the saloon, at which mill girls warmed themselves on the way to and from work. Very cosy. Somebody once told me the Russians still had open coal fires on some long-distance trains, but I think thatmust -be _ reactionary bourgeois capitalist propaganda.

Not propaganda, but vouched for by colleague Martin Hayes, is the fact that when he took his psv driving test the DoE examiner sitting in the saloon was warming his hands at a gas fire!
