Powerful Vacuum Cleaners BANNED by EU

Yes they're at it again dictating to us what we can and cannot use.

From September 1st you will not be able to buy a vacuum cleaner with more than a 1600watt motor.

How dare they!!

The Burnley Wind Farm Giant Blades arrive on special roads and with Mega Lorries

These are the new roads the Turbine companies build for you so they can get their out-size loads into place. Look at the mess they make. Then the "normal" roads have to be closed with Police escort while the mega-loads trundle along. Wonderful?

This is the desolation on the moors above Todmorden/Burnley

Some people are looking forward to the new roads the company will build them in Lincolnshire. they're not new Dual-carriage ways just tracks across the fields to get the loads in.

The Monuments Men

watched The Monuments Men. OK. Seemed like the Expendables set in the second world war. not as much action. 5/10.

Enders Game

watched Enders Game. funny earlier we were discussing the Americans bombing Japan. after the first 2 A bombs they threatened annihilation. What if they had? does anyone have any moral/ethical right tp wipe put any people?
good film, worth watching for teens. 7/10

No to Asserby windfarm - objection

Look - as far as I can tell this table is relatively accurate.

Wind Generators get paid ROCs and the Wholesale price of Electricity, per Megawatt.
they have been falling slowly but you can see there are Millions at stake here.

Say it costs £1million per turbine to build, wish I had the odd million and a few acres to build on!!

Anyway assuming the Turbines are only 30% efficient (the wind doesn't blow all the time) they'll get (at today's prices) over £500,000 a year - per turbine so for 4 over the 25 years £56million plus - that's if prices don't go up - will they?

I say its a Criminal Swindle to the Taxpayers

What do you think?
