I have to add that any granchildren coming round here spouting
environmentalist ******** they've got from school will be asked which
school they attend. The teachers will then be taken outside and shot,
with their families watching.

If that machine gun is designed and constructed by J. Clarkson the main

Ahah, and that's when somebody found the delightful properties of
acetylene/air mix when introduced under an inverted bowl, followed by
a spark.
A trivial pursuit, but amusing for a short while.
