Is that the same Natural History Group thats, I quote "protecting Seil's Biodiversity"........seems to be a tall claim for an un-elected non govermental group!! Perhaps "looking at quite common birds" should be its motto (no I don't mean Jordan).

Yet another crticism of a local group.
I didn't realise that anyone needed to be elected to be a member of a local group - especially one that aims to protect local biodiversity. Not sure about the connection to common birds in Jordan tho' - that's quite some distance.

No critsism, my point is they have no mandate or whatever one would like to call it, to be in a position to protect anything, observe perhaps protect no.

Now I must object if you want to drag that fine young lady into this conversation, even if it is a passing reference. Nothing to do with publishers again is it?

I like looking at both types of "quite common birds" - especially tits.

I think Jordan may well be a fine lady, given a bit of a chance. Perhaps we should vote her in as our M.P. at the next election.

Minimum (very applicable ma cherie)
Not picking on you or nowt but maybe you are Jordan judging by the bbraincell count of your recent posts, eg.
"harmful activities should only be undertaken if they can be convincingly demonstrated that they are not going to harm"
You puzzled even me with the logic of that one.
Also:
"one that aims to protect local biodiversity"
Just how do the local tree huggers do that on their Sunday morning walks? Observe eh 7th! OMG, bring back Swampy.
And finally, sorry, minimouse:
"our M.P. at the next election"
I think you mean M.S.P. unless, of course, you still haven't given up you old ways.
Mini - perhaps you should spend your evenings sitting in front of a fire eating chestnuts and worrying about the SG of Tartan Special.
ps
Jordan - had her!

Sorry to disagree Lonshanks, but I think you'll find that we do still have MPs - Alex Salmond happens to be one.
If Gordon Brown (another Scottish MP) had called the election last year you would have been voting for MPs, not MSPs.

Hey seventh, just a wee observation: most groups that make a difference ARE "non govermental"
I'm thinking, in particular, of your favourite - the RSPB!!!
Thought you'd all like that...
