    Default Skelmersdale:

    Skelmersdale is a town in West Lancashire. It lies on high-ground on the River Tawd, 6 miles to the west of Wigan, 13 miles to the northeast of Liverpool, 15 miles south-southwest of Preston.

    I KNOW THAT NOW:

    WHEN TRYING TO PULL. THE MOST BEUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD:

    Said where in Yorkshire is that exactly. Is it near Emmerdale ?

    They are fracking all over the place these days, often in some of the most beautiful and unspolied areas. We have similar here in Oz, but the fact is oil and gas are getting expensive so new areas must be sourced. We want the best of both world unfortunately, beauty and the gas. But if the resources are there then we should use them but recover in a manner that does not endanger the environment.

    Default I meant the North West:

    The desolate North East? Whoops, I meant the North West, says Tory Lord Howell who keeps digging a hole in shale gas row
    Lord Howell branded 'foolish and ill-informed' for attack on the North East:


    Now claims he got it wrong, and meant to say the North West

    Brian,they where in Formby which is in between here where I am at Seaforth and Southport.I don't know if any of them are still there and it would be interesting to know how many barrels a day they produced.
    Regards.

    Thanks for that Jim,
    I knew I had seen some, about 70 years ago. There was a war on and I did see lumps of oil afloating by the beach.
    Not too sure of the exact location.
    As you say I wonder if they are still producing oil. Have to find out.
    Cheers
    Brian

    Default Desolate North East.

    Yes I now see that he is saying that he meant Lancashire,it has been going on here anyway for some time.It was put on hold because of some earthquake in Blackpool but it has now been given the all clear.There has been some protesters but I think on the whole if it did bring work here people would be glad of it.We have had worse than fracking here in the NW over the years.I see that the North East Tourist Board have invited the noble Lord up to the NE for a holiday and have even offered him a caravan to stay in.
    Regards.
