lewis the pollution from middlesboro is seen only as white it is not black .....when you were 10 years old ie 1959 iwas running from the tyne to the tees every day on a everard coastal tanker ....the skyline may show white cloud but certainly no black ....i travel at least 3 times a month past the pollution area which is only seen as white perhaps you still had your shades on

Re: Port Talbot.
Thanks for that John yes a very good result for Liverpool.The Italian police did a good job looking after the supporters Roma have a bad crowd of followers called the Ultras when they came over here for the first leg a gang of them attacked Liverpool fans with belts,buckle end,one poor man from Ireland is still in a coma in a Liverpool hospital and two Italian Ultras are in custody for attempted murder, so a big backlash was expected in Rome.
Regards.

Re: Port Talbot.
Apologies had missed #2, and any reference to it in #7 as asked in #11.
Meanwhile:
World Health Organisation apologises - and says Port Talbot IS NOT the UK's most polluted town.
The WHO has admitted its figures showing the town's pollution levels at nearly double the recommended level were wrong.

Re: Port Talbot.
David I knew a Williams when I was serving my time from Llanelli. Know Williams is a common name in Wales but would have been about your age. Was on the Glenmoor. JWS.

I think that the Felinfoel Brewery, home of Double Dragon Ale, is the oldest in Wales.
I was not aware that Llanelli's Felinfoel brewery pioneered beer in cans: Llanelli's Felinfoel brewery pioneered beer in cans - BBC News
