I posted that lot up because it shows how silly a 'knee jerk' 'coal is

overall context of a complex global economy.


"Four legs good. Two legs bad"

(Trouble is that it snowballs)



As with CFL bulbs, for example, which is a thread that was done to
death without anyone complaining..CFL bulbs are barely DIY either.

And finally, unlike most other groups. uk.d-i-y is populated by a
rather larger number of articulate and intelligent people than most.

So I thought it would in any case be interesting.

As far as going down the pub goes, its expensive, it involves alcohol
and driving, they won't let you smoke, and the people there arer
boring beyond belief.


But there is life beyond Bury St. Edmunds.
