There's been an exploratory drill site in Storrington since the nineties, along with a similar one between Godstone and Oxted... not to mention the suggestion of fracking locally too... so interesting but not surprising  :y

That said, the cynic in me suggests that they have merely discovered a bit of a hole filled with Jet A1 run off from when the airport flooded a couple of Christmases ago :D
