Hi all. Sorry to have been absent for most of this discussion, but half term in Blackpool has been utter madness this year, six days of 16 hour shifts and an all-nighter have left me a shattered ruin of my former self - one more week to go and then I can R E L A A A A X !.

Anyway, it has, as always, been most instructive to read your comments and opinions. I stand corrected about the relative jurisdiction of the the turbines and my thanks for the the two telegraph articles. Particularly the one about the gormless farmers wife, I hope she thinks they are still wonderful when she cannot get a good nights sleep for the constant low frequency sound these things generate.

It does kinda make you wonder what sort of democracy we live in when the very powers which are supposed to represent the wishes of the people seem so utterly contemptuous of those wishes, particularly when they are at varience with those of the authority concerned. I am minded of the waste re-processing site at Huncoat Power Station, very democratic, that decision!

Speaking personally, I have no objection to turbines in principle, obviously they are a necessity. But I would have thought that more care and consideration could have been brought to bear when deciding where to site the wretched things.
