To Busby in Reply to #34.....
"Why aye man" ... ( Geordie !..)
"What Tarrrm is it ? Said the bairn and then pointed and said "look at the weeeeerm" ( werm = worm ).... ( Hull )...
I know you were born in hull.
My father born there in hull royal in '35 , his brothers in ' 37 and ' 39.
Sadly , my uncle Terry born in '37 now desceased .
I know what you mean Bus , and I think folks know what I mean.
I know how things could be changed and things COULD be changed for the better but we can't fight power and money to save the planet.
A man, in the news once , being interviewed. His plan was to build an enterprise , a bit like Vegas , full of casinos etc, right on the beach front.
Only problem being this "beach " was where all the giant turtles made the pilgrimage to give birth, bury all their eggs in the sand , then depart leaving their babies to eventually hatch out , make their way to the sea to hope they could then overcome all the dangers of a new born, living on instinct , to survive.
This "man " , for want of a better word , was being interviewed , and the reporter pointed out to him that the little baby turtles, thousands of them each year, would naturally get dis-oriantated
Because of all the lights from the casino's . They would get killed trying to cross the road to get to the light....
His response ?
He laughed as though it was the funniest joke he ever heard and responded "" I know.....but you can't stop "progress" for the sake of a few "tortoises"......
