NO to Asserby WindFarm - who owns the land?

I have asked just who is Energie Kontor? They are the Company putting in the planning application to ELDC but they don't own the land. This seems wrong in that if I wanted to extend my house I would have to put in planning form my house and my neighbours would know exactly what I was planning.

Asserby Wind farm is simply and vaguely Land to the South of Asserby.....but who owns this vast tract of land - well I think its basically 3 people. These people will benefit to the tune on many millions of pounds over the years from the Turbine Earnings - mainly from Government (yours and mine) subsidies, even if the Turbines aren't generating!

So, I believe one landowner is

Gary Allis,
Furzehill Farm, Bilsby,
Alford, Lincolnshire, LN13 9QS

He is well known locally for his cricketing exploits and Farm (650 acres) innovations - good luck to him as a farmer I say, but how will he live with his neighbours when he's angered so many and destroyed the areas heritage? I thought farmesrs cared about the land, sorry no its a business, he wants to earn MAXIMUM from hi Land. Wind Turbines harvest the Wind!!

Mrs Sarah Jane Alliss is also a director.

I show you the theoretical income from a 10gw windfarm as proposed for Asserby, shared between, EnergieKontor and 3 people of course.

50 years of the Audio Cassette

Yes it is 50 years since the first audio cassette appeared.

Do you remember them? What did you do with yours?

Buying music on cassettes - never was as good as records then CD's killed them both.

Recording from the radio/copying your mates Cassettes/LP's - yes that was great.

You didn't really mind the wow, hiss and flutter. After all the players were that tinny anyway.

I got a Chrome/Metal tape deck for my Hi-Fi, just meant I could hear the wow, hiss and flutter better.

Then do you remember un-jamming the cassette recorder.
Using a pencil or biro to rewind the tape? Hopefully it still played. I even resorted to cutting out the ruined bit and slicing them up with a razor blade and sellotape - it worked after a fashion.

C90's were best - C120's seemed to be the worst offenders at jamming - I suppose they were thinner.

Then there were the games - loading you Jet Set Willy game on the Spectrum  20mins of screeching and the  "load error"!! Arrrrggh! Start again. 

Ah those were the days (I don't think so).
