Well, I could write enough pages about this subject to fill a book’ but having just finished one (Clone) and started another one ‘Tick-Tock’ I haven’t got enough time.
So let’s start with the nuclear power stations, have you noticed that there is a tendency to build them close to the sea and use the seawater to cool them, the same sea that is rising at an ever-increasing rate due to climate change. So let me mention one word. Flooding.
And at Sizewell B we use nuclear fuel from Russia, I wonder who signed the paperwork for that one.
Shortage of water in the UK, well you wouldn’t believe that a country that has a reputation for having too much rainfall could also have a drought but again we have never had any long-term planning as despite a large increase in population the last reservoir was built in 1991.
Water leaks in the UK water supply system has been happening from the moment the pipes were first laid, raw sewage is pumped into the rivers and sea but despite this catastrophic failure by the water boards they have been given 28 years to fix the problem. Bet if you held back the bonuses to the directors and shareholders until it was sorted out it would be fixed in five years.
The Commonwealth Games in Birmingham was a big success and I enjoyed every moment of it. I lived on College Road which runs close to the main entrance of the main stadium from when I was twelve until I was twenty-four and that period of time was the happiest time of my life. The rented council house my parents lived in has long been demolished but every time I drive past it the memories flood back. I watched as Ozzy Osbourne closed the show with his one major hit record and was reminded that this Rock n Roll star was part of my generation ( the sixties ) part of the groundbreaking music revolution. But of course I am biased.
At the moment I find ‘Any Thing you Want You’ve Got It,’ by Roy Orbison on YouTube quite uplifting, a shame we all have to die.
