| Nice one Mr Hob! (How are you then?) Open cast is ghastly. Full stop. That's what people next to open cast operations always think, without fail, it feels like the rape of your land and community by people living hundreds of miles away and you're in no mood to see any upside so it's a cert that the yadder yadder about the benefits of the subsequent water parks etc doesn't come from them. And as for going a step beyond the water park thing and making the slag heap into a fat lass, well I guarantee no-one truly local is lobbying for it. If scores of your childhood fields had been destroyed why would you want the perpetrators to try to come out of it smelling of roses and community benefactors? Or to compulsorily patronise you? As for it retaining it's crispness, 'course it won't. Slag, grass and scrub ain't granite. But then, it was hardly intended to last a long time, given why it was commissioned. PS, the name Northumberlandia that you don't like - doesn't it sound exactly like the sort of name that would be dreamed up in a trendy West End PR firm? "What will appeal to the Northern yokels?" ;) Reply | with quote |  29th July 2011ce 06:56 In reply to: Re: Reclining goddess or Slag Alice? (Hob) |
