    Have we had floods before? Remember Boscastle.
    Have we had more and more sinkholes since frakking, and heavy rain combined?

    Heaviest rain in 250 years.

    Even if fracking causes sinkholes who cares?

    My old house backs on to the same field!
    The field is already full day of gypsum sinkholes.
    A recent planning application to build on that field was only rejected yesterday.
