well I'd rather be imprisoned in the arms of Dolores in Cuba, than wedged in the arms of Kong's wench from Whitley, if big Brian couldn't handle her, what chance would I stand. I always thought PC stood for productive cuddles

John #26. I tend to collect articles I find interesting from newspapers and when they stopped using the man with the red flag in front of cars this happened.

Lewis thank you for that, and I fully understand your concerns, nothing wrong in having your own opinion.
Pity more did not allow such rights.

I did read some time ago that the UK intended to build five new nuclear power stations.

Remember back in the 50's we used to get the London smog, thick clinging fog that stayed around for days.

The a clean air act was passed.
Apparently prior to that all the coal brought from mines was used in power stations just as it came out.
Then they began a process of cleaning it up, removing all the crap and burning it at a higher temp using fan forced air.
The smog dissapeared.

One of the main problems with burning coal is the fact much is burned at a low temp, the higher the temp when burning the cleaner it burns at.
