What about the legal immigrants? (The >> 3000?) The distinction is rarely made in this perpetual discussion. They end up in bricks and mortar too. Does your spaceship have a big enough dust bag for them as well?

Not buying it. Those bungalows would be bought up by The Landlords. Who'd fill them with The Immigrants. Back to square one.

Do you believe that house prices would then drop following that little bit of housework?

And the meme for today's deviation on this thread is?

Do you think chickens get stung by nettles? Or just don't like them for some other reason?

Now we're getting to the crux of the matter. "So if we have 50000 small boats migrants a year and say 30000 of those remain, we now need extra housing for 30000 more people than the year before - plus extra housing for net increase due to legal migrants granted work and study visas." 30000 << legal migrants granted work and study visas. But still, immigration has very little to do with the overinflated housing market in the UK.

You can get a ferry from Chora Skafion to Agai Roumeli, which is at the end of the gorge. We've stayed there a couple of times, it's very pleasant. The number of people coming down the gorge and straight onto the ferry is astounding. They're nose to tail. I quite fancied walking it but after seeing that I'm not so keen. If I was to do it it'd have to be early in the morning or out of season.

Kids back to school. Or their customers turn into lemmings.

Are you sure?

How dare you? Yeah, most are obviously of that ilk. Although I do believe that there are a few on the sidelines who are motived and well informed. The problem is that they don't get anywhere in this foolhardy new world of personality politics.

Nah, not this lot, not so much. It'll be making the big oil and gas companies a fat wad though that's for sure.

Guessing she was of Cantonese heritage. As are all Chinese takeaways here. North Eastern Chinese food is very different, Szechuan kind of thing. More chillies and other interesting stuff like Sichuan Pepper. Less controversial stuff like grubs. As an aside, she doesn't cook much at all, I do most. So when I say Chinese I mean my approximation of it.

Pork. And beans Chinese style.

Not my work. A customer made them from stuff I cut down. That was probably ten years ago; still going strong today.

Anything to add @Johnsond? It's very unlike you to stay silent on a subject such as this. Surely you've got a LinxedIn screenshot to stick up to confirm this as real news, rather than Fake Facebook News? You're normally first on the scene with the scoop, don't be shy now, you can emerge from the shadows.

Chippering apples is definitely a thing. I've heard if it being done successfully before, forget where, but probably a cider making book. I think you'd still have to press the pulp though to express the juice. Putting them through the chipper would just be the "Scratting" stage, prior to pressing.

Carbon Capture is a bag o' wank really. It's just something seized upon by lazy, ill-informed politicians to try to convince the masses that they're doing something proactive. They're not. It'll never even get close to fixing the problem, but instead just waste a load of money and effort. Why carbon capture and storage is not a real climate solution DAVIDSUZUKI.ORG CCS is often pointed to as a climate solution by Big Oil and Gas. Here are the main reasons why it isn't a climate solution.

Damson wine? I was tempted to with some of ours, only decided against it as I've 101 other things I need to do at the moment. I've a friend who makes it, it's very good.
