I wouldn’t think you need a stove to warm your feet Johnnie.
Cheers Dave.

Don’t you believe it, Johnnie has a nice central heated place, and is a well travelled man since he retired, he is been on holidays to places I used to travel, but I think he is giving Iraq, Syria, Jordon. a miss!

[sammyopisite]

I am sure this is the right thread for this one as if it does not apply to anyone on here they are on the wrong section

There won’t be much more involvement out in that area, now that they have all this shale gas in America.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
It’s been quiet on here for a week or two Dave, but just re-reading your post and the mention
of shale gas, it’s only a few weeks ago since it was front page news, since then nothing has it
not been a viable idea to extract it no-one seems to be discussing the pro’s and cons of it, will
it ever be in the system or just like lots of other ideas die the death.
thanks harry, long retired.

[norman_ingram]

As you know Harry, having mines around your area made subsidence a possibility to quite a few houses in these area’s. A large amount of people have voiced a concern about damage or lost of value due to fracking, so I think the powers to be are treading softly softly.

[dave_the_renegade]

I bought diesel today for £1.26.7 @ litre, which is the cheapest for years. They say the demand for oil worldwide is down, plus the shale gas input has brought the prices down. Keep on fracking I say. But not in built up area’s where there is danger of subsiding.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Dave, there is no need to “frack” in built up areas there’s more derelict land and farmland doing
nothing than is needed there is very little showing at the surface so in reality there would be no
need to operate in built up areas, if it came to be that gas supplies were going to run out on a
certain date you could bet your bottom dollar these do-gooder would change their minds if it is
going to affect their lifestyles some firms who employ thousands of people depend on a 24 hr
gas supply and if the workers were told they would have to be finished because their power is
finished they would be the first to clamour for shale gas, most of the no lobby are those swamp
dwellers the great unwashed who live on benefits and have nothing better to do than cause a
nuisance by lying in the road obstructing progress, and as far as subsidence goes most of the
towns and villages in County Durham and Northumberland and many other parts of the British
Isles have been undermined for hundreds of years with very little subsidence damage per cent
that was for the extraction of coal and fireclay, they’re only extracting gas here not great big
seams of coal sometimes 12 feet thick and covering mile after mile below ground.

Hi Harry,
Quite agree with you, all nimby’s until it affects them, or vice versa. You make a very good point in your post. Compared to the area of the North East which you mentioned. The USA has huge areas of land mass where extracting shale gas or oil isn’t going to interfere with anyone, except the Greenpeace followers who will jump on any bandwagon just to protest.
Cheers Dave.

I am sure this is suitable for on here without casting any aspersions

I refer you to a previous post by Mr Gill Bewick. Please read carefully and feel free to add your comment.
PS I don’t live in a built up area Dennis.
Cheers Dave.

Shale gas WILL happen Harry, there’s a lot of energy down there (many many years supply) and the country is looking at an increasing energy shortage.
The tree huggers and the weird beards are a bit quiet at the moment but the schemes are still ongoing and will develop.
As for coal…bloody scandalous, this country is sat on 100 years supply AND WE ARE IMPORTING THE STUFF FROM RUSSIA AND THE AMERICAS.
Selby coalfield…12 ft thick seam, all that’s need is to put machines down there and they will get to stuff out.

[norman_ingram]

It makes me laugh when they say the will of the people. It has always been the filthy rich control what will be,even if they have to wait.

I’m two thirds of the way through reading Dennis Skinner’s book. This bloke is branded a red and all sorts of things, but he talks more sense than nearly all the modern day politicians put together, from all political parties.
Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Dave, is Dennis’s book readily available and could you tell me the title I’ll be visiting the “Toon”
(Newcastle) when I go for my cancer check-up having to abandon the last one due to shingles,I
have to pass a Waterstones as part of my walking to the hospital route which is in a couple of
weeks time due to re-scheduling my original appointment.
