Read a report yesterday (Wednesday) that the powers that be in Whithall are producing a long term report in ways to convert the residents of this country to becoming vegans as the farming animals are producing too much methane gas for the environment. How b****y dull do they take us lot for? Haven't they got better things to do than to waste our taxes on such rubbish? Cow towing to the minority sect of green and animal liberation groups again for vote catching.

IMO The goverment and allits lackeys have gone bonkers over this green arguement thing. Don't get me wrong i am all for looking after our enviromnet but they are taking thing too far. Did you know Global warming and carbon foot prints can be traced back to the 1400's ; makes you think did they have cars and cow that farted! Sorry bit cheeky there ! Hehehehe.

I expect carbon footprinting can be traced right back to when this planet was first evolved.
Global warming is just a good vehicle to use to extract more taxes from the general public to waste on things like illegal wars in places like Iraq, and to give TB his "retirement" pension, which incidentally is more than the ordinary guy in the street can ever hope to see. Its a good job it is not performance based!!

i never was any good at science and i aint tried it but a freind told me if you put water and an ice cube in a glass and mark the level when the ice melts the level will be the same! something to do with the volume of ice, not the mass, will only replace the water displaced by the ice. if this is true where is the water coming from to raise sea levels as the ice-cap melts ?????
try filling a plastic pop bottle to the brim and put it in the freezer.

Roll on global warming, us lot in the midlands will have beachfront properties.
Also I heard that if all of us in the UK stopped using electricity tomorrow, closed every single power station, China will more than make up the difference within 10 years.
Seriously I am all for doing my bit to save the planet. I recycle and I've stopped buying baked beans to cut down on the methane production by my other half.

Fair enough we are a wasteful nation and we can all do our bit for the environment but I think that this country has become addicted to the save the planet campaigne and that we are now going over the top in many instances. We have just been issued with a wheely bin, a large brown bin for kitchen waste, a smaller brown bin for keeping in the kitchen prior to filling the larger one and two black boxes - one for waste paper and one for glass. However my property is in btween two roads and we have access from both roads - what has the council done - they have issued us with double of everything, one set of each at each gate. We are still having weekly refuse collection but the paper, glass and kitchen waste is fortnightly. By using the wheely bins the vehicle can only unload two at a time whereas the bin men would be throwing at least three or four refuse sacks on at a time - therefore the bins are going to be more time consuming for them. Also think of the smell of the kitchen waste after two weeks. The only winners are the manufacturers of the plastic bins.
I was all for recycleing until a caught a program on Itv late one night. It actually showed that there are not enough plants to handle the job so they ship out 60% to poorer countrys and DUMP it.
It went to southampton docks in containers and from there ship to China, Thialand and so on. The goverment said they knew nothing about it, Makes you stop and think though?????

Diane that has been going on for years - quite few years ago there was a Panorama programme whereby mail from this country was turning up on tips in Korea. It was being shipped out there as well as China by the bucket full. Apparantly there is good money in it for both the country concerned and our waste disposal companies.
