Britain 'facing energy shortfall'

Sounds like the real reason they want us all to use electric
candles in place of proper lamps and all this other green
nonsense. Should have built those nuclear stations a long
time ago like France.

Love the pictures too - scary b/w picture of a nuclear control
room and bright colourful picture of windmills and happy
children. Never mind the facts, let's have a beauty contest.

Fortunately all is not lost. It appears that the Isle of Lewis
windfarm project is about to get knocked on the head.

Trouble is most of the population won't spot that sort of thing, but will be
influenced by it.

Perhaps they should learn to read then and not just look at the pretty
pictures.

I received a higher mark than I expected... 5%. This was excellent
considering I spent most of the time practising writing my name and the
rest watching the sun idly filter through the leaves on the trees
outside the windows.

Our school maths teacher, when someone gave an incorrect answer, would often
remark that they 'might as well be out in the field picking daisies'...

Wait till your sunday afternoon pleasures unexpectedly extend into
Monday morining, and the first thing you meet when you get to work is a
emergency project meeting in a room full of venetian blinds..;-)

You should have done media studies not Maths. You get 10% for getting your
name right in a media studies exam with the other 90% made up from course
work (ie a good attendance record and watching television).

Before I respond could someone tell the water cooler to stop flirting

(In fact I left such dubious pleasures behind over a quarter of a century ago
but remember them mostly (sic) fondly. In a few years time, once retired and
without responsibilities again, I might play tho. :-)

It's the aging demographics that mess things up. Until the elderley
have no voting rights there's no solution. They're the ones more
likely to vote too.
