Albert Tatlock Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Also made the BBC yesterday. Jeebus - wouldn't it be better to stock up on spare shreddies? - the consequences of this begger belief - plus the guy isn't (an obvious) rag-head either. Who knows, given the geography he could even be 'hiding' over here? ...though my money is on them never finding him and that it's really a government plot to try to get ID cards back on the table.

Tempus Fugit Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Aren't some supermarkets doing away with tins ?, going to use the waxed (?) cardboard box type things instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonday Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Am I right in assuming there's less energy, carbon footprint etc etc in using cardboard instead of metal or does the production process negate this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelslikeitshould Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Am I right in assuming there's less energy, carbon footprint etc etc in using cardboard instead of metal or does the production process negate this? There's an article on the bbc website about the carbon footprint of producing Christmas dinner... I'm astonished that the 'green issue' is hijcking a thread about a man who works at Sellafield making a bomb. I mean, the danger of having a nuclear power station that is, what, 70 miles away? Blowing up is more concerning to me than the fact a tin can has a bigger carbon footprint than a cardboard box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 the guy isn't (an obvious) rag-head either. Racist. not at all, AT hate's everyone the same. Succinctly put - you ****! I was of course referring only to those fundamenalist idiots who have made it their mission to try and kill us. One of them employed in Sellafield - armed with a bomb - and I can guarantee my loose terminology would be seen as mild. Remember the size of a "dirty bomb and its target" greatly affect its impact. The decontamination costs and the potential long and short term health costs could run into millions of pounds. The potential to wreak economic harm is genuinely significant, with substantial knock-on effects on tourism, trade, businesses, property values and agriculture. In short, with the island being so close, the consequences of 'damage' to our economy would be significant IMO - and the IOM government should be asking some serious questions at present IMO.
