I expect this will go on and on until the Russians turn your gas off, and then it will be too late. All those of us who can make gas, petrol, and chemicals from coal will be long gone.



The sixties were a good decade for the NE, but it started to go down rapidly from 1970

My hubby is an industrial chemist, now working for a middle eastern petro-chemical company. A lot of the chemical industry is dying over here as a result in the decline of the northern industrial areas. Companies have been downsizing over here and moving to Holland and Germany because they have better supporting industries in place.

Indeed! All of the trad industries were linked. It's not all bad news though, when I was in the Redcar Marx and Sparx queue for reasonably priced polo shirts, I mentioned to the lady behind me that bonuses were being paid again in the London Banking sector. This cheered her up no end.
