    That looks a little Swedish in it’s design

    I assume the Buccaneer is not as complex to maintain as the Lightning ?

    Bearing in mind what happened to the Lightning is this good or bad news?

    Might depend on who is going to be doing the flying ?

    I saw on Sky TV the other day, that SHALE is the “IN” thing in the States, perchance John Boyle can tell us more on that topic.

    Lincoln .7

    That’s a hugely controversial subject in itself.

    Shouldn’t be difficult to decipher (I would have thought)

    I bet Leo Marks would have cracked it by now.

    Lovely !!.
    Reminds me of when a Dutch F-16 was at Southend airport for the seafront
    display. I have a video clip somewhere of it taking off, which I took from the
    golf course.

    I remember a Royal Navy F-4K doing something similar at Bentwaters.

    3) The actual cost of the placement of said turbine on its permanent site, either land or sea.

    Lincoln .7

    I stand to be corrected, but I was under the impression that when the ones offshore break down, it is not cost effective to repair or replace them (?)

    I remember a couple of years ago, someone talking about the wind farms off
    the coast of the Netherlands. He was saying how inefficient they were, and
    when one breaks down they are too expensive to repair.

    Obviously somebody is making money out of them.

    I believe more use should be made of tide power, both in underwater
    turbines, http://energy.gov/articles/turbines-nyc-east-river-will-provide-power-9500-residents
    and something along the lines of the old tide mills, where sea water
    was stored in lagoons then let out as the tide fell.

    Just because you are self employed doesn’t mean you can pick and choose which laws you do and don’t follow.

    I didn’t think I needed to state the obvious 🙂

    As someone who has been self-employed for most of his working life, I
    believe the people running the B & B, should have been free to impose
    whatever rules they like.

    The aggrieved party in this case were just trying to make a political point.

    In much the same way that all of a sudden, a number of high profile
    footballers are feigning shock and horror, and playing the racist card.
