Well don't worry Jay, the deepest mine in the world is TauTona in Carletonville, South Africa at 3.9 kilometers.

The average thickness of the Earths crust is 100 kilometers so, we are hardly scratching the surface, we aren't yet producing a planet resembling a Swiss cheese.

Well Less they sucked a hell of a lot of stuff from beneath the earths surface, and there must be some sort of void being left or is it like your brain which fills up regularly with Railway lubrication

It makes you think if this isn't have the same effect there must be some huge hollow spaces bellow the earths surface, somethings going to give sometime

maybe thats why they plug the offshore wells to stop the sea from draining away

Just watching the news this morning and the amount of snow they have had aswell is stopping the work to get things back to normal.

I never knew they got snow over there that bad, didnt think it would make its way through the smog.

Don't forget you have Sellafield up the street ... Chernobyl in slow motion!

The poet Norman Nicholson wrote a poem about his local Sellafield and paints the picture like no other can.

The toadstool towers infest the shore:
Stink-horns that propagate and spore
Wherever the wind blows.
Scafell looks down from the bracken band,
And sees all hell in a grain of sand,
And feels the canker itch between his toes.

This is a land where dirt is clean,
And poison pasture, quick and green,
And Storm sky, bright and bare;
Where sewers flow with milk, and meat
Is carved up for the fire to eat,
And children suffocate in God’s fresh air.
