GAS SUPPLY

Today our Prime Minister,Gordon Brown,has spoken to reassure his public by insisting that supplies of gas were not running out.

But which gas was he talking about?

Was it the gas required to heat our homes, cook our food - in which case it is now a dead cert that we ARE running low, or was he talking about the gas that he produces - then yes I am sure there is a plentiful supply. At least if it is the latter then we certainly have a minimum of five months supply!

He actually said that "We've got plenty of gas, of course, in our own back yard - the North Sea - and we also have access to the large reserves in Norway and Netherlands via pipelines."

I thought we didn't actually have that much left in our backyard, and we only have access to large reserves in Norway and Netherlands if they allow us. Taps can be very easily turned off at the end of pipe!.

But hey I can sleep well tonight knowing that our Prime Minister, as with everything else, has everything under his control.....
NOT!
