If it gets really cold, we could all huddle with Gixer. Mmmmmmm........I'd like that.

I'm sure Chris will insist on: Only if you can get to Reading on summer tyres and that might be difficult with all the snow covered roads around Wakefield.

I was only joking Rods. Just trying to get him excited so I can rebuff him....again. It's a game he likes to play.

I know, but I think Chris is even more sensitive about winter tyres, than bending over to pick up a spanner in Stoke.

Call me stupid and hit me with a big stick but why don't they simply turn off the old power stations after the new ones have been comissioned

EU regulations. The existing stations do not meet the EU green criteria.

SO WHAT  stuff 'em, what are they going to do kick us out

We could just burn the winter tyres to keep warm?

Not if we go firing shit into it!!! 

Wouldn't be too long before we have lineups of pissed Men, all contesting to see who can hit the centre, or fire it the furthest... I look forward to this Nuclear Olympics.

Followed by worn out summer tyres. A good old burnt rubber London smog, that would get the tree huggers going.

Couldn't remember which EU regulation it was, so thanks to Paul Nuttall for reminding me in this article that it is the EU's Industrial Emissions Directive that is forcing the closure of nine perfectly good power stations.

Get the Pits opened again

Daz, you may well be on to something. I think we need to follow Germany's lead, where a substantial number of coal-fired power stations are being built. ANYTHING but relying on Russian gas and French nuclear. We need to be strategically independent in energy production.

Unfortunately, due to Maggies industrial vandalism, where she stopped the pumps so the mines flooded when they closed, it is in many cases impossible to reopen them. We were told at the time that this would render them unusable by future generations.. She did it to stop Government authority being contested by the mining unions again, but even Lord Tebbit admitted recently, it was a step too far and could / would have repercussions for future energy policies.

So how can they choose to build and we agree close our gas fired............

It is my understanding that there is enough Coal to out live oil and gas, we can't re-open mines but we can dig new ones, but we need to be quick or the necessary skills will be lost to a dying workforce............
