Monsta, of course plant life - and animal life - thrives, and then fails to, in response to climactic changes - it always has; that it happens is by no means concrete proof - or anywhere near it - that man is primarily responsible for changes in the climate. As for the bees there is absolute confusion as to why they are suffering at the moment, and pesticides are just one idea to be put forward. And yes, we have been responsible for massive deforestation - that is something nobody can possibly deny. Again, however, this does not point to man being responsible in the main for change in the climate. You'll note that even the IPCC has been forced to admit that the world has NOT been warming over the past ten to fifteen years; their argument is - and will be - that ten to fifteen years is a drop in the ocean, a pinprick in time. They're right, just as basing calculations of doom on an 'average world temperature' was always, and still is, a major mistake that can only lead to problems such as those we are seeing now with interpretation of data. The average temperature across the globe differs so much from place to place - for many a reason - that to take an average results in no indication of the actual state of things - it can't, as the temperature in Siberia skews the figures just as much as that in the heat of the Kalahari! Of course we have been influential on the gases existing in our atmosphere - we're here, we are going to be - but to cite CO2, man made CO2, as the biggest problem facing the world is to tread on very dodgy ground indeed, as we are already seeing. The fact is that the earth is not warming, it has suffered prolonged warm periods in the past when we were'nt even around to be accused of causing it, and it will go on fluctuating for ever more. The Global Warming lobby is a money wasting farce that has little bearing in fact.

Heard today once again, that Weatherspoons have purchased the Red Lion. Apparently this came from the Manageress of the Ashington Weatherspoons as she will be Managing it.. How true it is tho I don't know,..

Certainly would not entertain AS MOON, my friend rented a property thru them last year, the attitude of the staff in the office was disgusting.. They don't know what they are talking about. I went in and quoted Housing Law, which they had to go out and read up on to know if what I was saying was correct, my friend soon got a letter of apology from them as they were in the wrong. We bought and sold with Rook Matthews Sayer with very little problem when we bought our house 4 years ago.. Our last house (in Newcastle) was up for sale with Keith Pattinson in Newcastle, they kept sending us loads of print outs as to who had been sent the details but I think it was all just made up. Our house had just been totally renovated, needed nothing done to it and was on the market below market Value as we needed a quick sale for us to move back to Bedlington.. We did not have 1 viewer in 6 months with them. We put the house on the market with Rook Matthews we had 7 viewers in 2 days and the house sold for £15,000 more than asking price as 3 people wanted it they all put higher bid in...... Noticed lots of houses gone up with Mike Rogerson lately but never had any experience with them. Good Luck
