Good on him for living down here in the south west. Such a lovely place to live.

Also for getting a landy. I couldn't belive his missis was moaning on how they shouldn't be getting a '4x4' and beliving that it wasn't greener than the car,  :roll:  to me she just showed the typical tarred with the same brush attitude we all get. "ohh it's just another 4x4 the are all gas guzzelers"   :twisted:  Ohhh that annoys me.

But good old dick for sticking it out and convincing her that it is a good thing to have.

I believe they live near Tywardreath

Yes, it is nice (almost as nice as Yorkshire :wink: )
I'd like to live on Burgh Island & have that beautiful ('Art-Deco' styled) Hotel as a private house.

They run green courses too.........

http://www.itsnoteasybeinggreen.org/inebg_courses.htm

Part way down the page - Build your own biodiesel reactor !!!

Courses cost a fair bit, but I guess you could make savings in the long run - shame Td5's don't like veg oil  :evil:
