Thank you Scrumpy, I try my best
To add some verses with a bit of zest
I'm not good at starting threads
So I do my bit with limericks instead
I wish more would, lets have a fest!

Quote from: JBR on Today at 10:52:01 AMI was unaware of this.  In fact, I cannot believe that the people responsible for siting those windmills didn't have the common sense to consider the strength of suitable foundations and the type of land on which they were erecting those things.
Then again, this is 2024.

In the North of England in Lincolnshire, 'Lord Camerons father in law' Sir Reginald Sheffield', is big into the scheme (funny that). The Windmill Barons receive 'Wayleave' remittances termed Constraint payments. So when the wind blows too much and the National Grid can't carry any more current than presently being consumed they get turned off. 'Reggie' and his mates however still get paid by HMG as if they are at it full bore. They then leave their ugly towers turned on however and sell the energy to 'Private Consumers' or battery farms at a cheaper rate!

As Del Boy would say lubbly jubbly - you couldn't make it up!

When I told my American pals over here the story they at first refused to believe it (Gov't Scuttlebuck they called it) and of course they're right. One said even "Richard Nixon would get jail for that, these guys must pray for still days - double your money"! 

When Starmer gets in, the full disclosure of a lot of the skullduggery of schemes like this over the past 14 years will hit the ventilator big time. He'll make sure of it. The 'Blue Rat One Nation/Green Tory Bawbags know this too. Thay's why they're deserting the ship big time compared even to previous Tory meltdowns ...

You can get rolls of seed and lay it on grass. At least that's what the council seemed to do on the approaches to Hunstanton. Looked good when it flowered.

I checked streetview and none of the dates caught it in flower. This strip in July shows it before it came into flower though

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 01:50:03 PMIt amazes me that a bunch of pensioners on a Forum can see the disasters unfolding... Yet a bunch of , so called , well educated prats sitting in the commons cannot..

It makes one wonder who or what is actually  running parliament..
They are a load of puppets.. And a puppet only works when the strings are being pulled by someone else..

Parliament in the UK is yet another facade for the Globalists who pull the punches in the so called 'Free World' (what a joke). Sunak, Trudeau. Adherne, Obama, Macron, the list is endless. Headed by the World Economic Forum it's a highly dangerous group of multi national corporations cleverly manipulated by Klaus Schwab from his Alpine 'Eagles Nest' in Switzerland. Not a rumour or Conspiracy - Just a fact:

Next to replace 'The Fuhrer' soon as World Leader, the smart money's on 'Tony Blair' - yubba dubba doo!

I don't expect much change.. They are pretty much the same all over..
 
They just work for a fat pension..

So many councils in this area plant wild seed gardens.. in parks .. roadside and roundabouts.. They look so beautiful..
I did try it once but very little showed through.. I guess the birds had a meal.. on me..

A politician only has to survive the next election. When both sides are persuing pretty much the same policies as now their choices don't threaten that. Pick a party, any party and sod all will change materially. Of course few Tory MPs will survice the next election anyway but does anybody expect anything to improve when we get Labour?

You'll pay indirectly. The last round of turbine licences remained unsubscribed until the agreed price for the energy was increased. Rishi doesn't pay that personally. We all do in increased energy prices.

They'll obviously site turbines where there is the most reliable wind. Where they failed was in putting that above where they could safely be erected. There is only a pause in the process. They will wait a while and then just carry on with maybe some small change in procedure.

Quote from: Raven on Today at 10:58:47 AMThey were warned over and over by the locals of what would/could happen. But they went ahead anyway....Money wins again.

Well, someone has to pay, and I'm sure I'm not paying.
Surely, the company who erected them will be found to have failed to research and prepare.  Why should we pay?
