Graham ..... love it
Kay,
Ferns and fauna .... well, I don't profess to understand such things or what the distinction is, nor do I know what species they were. It was, however, reported widely in the local papers and also the papers for North Wales and Wales as the filmakers are a "blockbuster" company from Hollywood bringing over "mega-stars" such as Liam Neeson and, of course, the local village would significantly benefit from the 300+ crew staying there for a couple of weeks. It was of little surprise when the film makers reduced the budget for the "on location" shooting and cancelled a significant proportion of the hotel bookings.
It is, however, clear from your post that you do have knoweldge of fauna and ferns and I must ask that you pardon my ignorance (please).
I also would be much happier with a quango staffed with professional biologists than an elected body of MPs but, alas, I am not aware they are "professional biologists". Are they? In either case, the "debate" remains moot as regardless of their "status", none of the issues have actually been addressed.
good to get more input though - thanks
Ian
