Sorry, Louise, but global warming is caused by me, and my Jewish friends. After a heavy day secretly ruling the world, as we relax over some barbecued polar bears, we point special heat guns at the sky and deliberately warm the planet - just to terrify a lot of pampered and poorly-educated geeks all across the western world.
We stopped 12 years ago, by the way. Thought you'd all have noticed by now. Muppets.

Do you think that there was this much whining about the windmills that used to grind our flour?

Where are those farms? Are they actually built on UK soil or are they just photoshopped? The most props I have seen in a single farm is near the A14 in Northampton. (no more than 10) We have a single turbine on the mendips it looks quite nice.Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostHow many flour mills are/were there?
