That Delboy gets everywhere doesn't he?
"Although the Lewis wind farm is onshore, it's more offshore, as it offshore to the areas it will be supplying."

I hear that too - how ridiculous is that? Didn't "offshore" used to mean, erm... "off shore"? IE "in the sea"?

Maybe "offshore" in this case means "quite a long way and out of site of Surrey". And Lewis being ONLY the third largest of the British Isles... Tsk!
