we have recently had some removed from a local beauty spot near a reservoir. They only seemed to work for about a year after they were put up, then were left to fall to pieces until protests were made

Farage was right when he said build nuclear power stations the windfarms are a waste of time. Im surprised the gypos haven't nicked them for the scrap be now anyway.

They are neither use or ornament.

Here we had the amusing scenario of the main "spokesman" for the objectors to the new nuclear power station also leading the fight against a wind farm. NIMBY wants us to go back to candles.....oh dear, don't you have to kill whales for them..  |

A wind farm appears to be going ahead (I think) in the Bournemouth/Swanage/Weymouth area of sea. I have noticed that on an area of green surrounding a statue on the promenade, someone has planted about 50 child's windmills and a windsock. Whether it's a protest or joke, I don't know, if the local paper picks up on it, I will copy the story.

I used to holiday every year in Great Yarmouth when I had a touring caravan from 1974/5 to 1993, went back there last year and the view off the Brittania Pier looking towards Caister was a mass of windmills.
Not fussed on going back there now, and I dare say I am not the only one of that opinion. So the tourist industry is suffering.
Now I`m booked to go to Weymouth in May next year, I hope that Cuba is effing wrong.
I have to admit that I have a great hatred for windmills.

Last year when we went on a Western Med cruise we sailed from Santa Cruz to Las Palmas and I can't remember seeing any, then again we were probably in the wrong area of Las Palmas

They plonked a large wind turbine right in the next field to one of our favourite campsites on the Norfolk/Suffolk border,we haven't been back since. Apparently the noise from the whoosh of the blades is quite noticeable.
All these windfarms are for is to keep rich shareholders(Cleggs wife)happy,they offer little benefit in energy saving.Our bombers should use them for target practice ready for when Obama gives Posh the nod.

Not be long Phil NATO are gearing up for some action. Aye your right Nob just a few miles from me, the amount of fencing that has gone up on the M4 and inner Cardiff city centre is ridiculous. After the meeting the Gypo`s will have it away for scrap. We have war ships in the Harbour and Tanks on the Golf course. Roy |
