In my part of the world the man who heaved the sacks of coal off the wagon and into your bunker/cellar was a "coal-jagger", ie a man who carries loads.

It must be one of those Celtic Connections that people are always going on about.

You may be right - however most people round here think he was referring to Devonport Docks. Wo
