BBC Radio news this morning.


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!

Under the Lewis proposals, 181 turbines would be built
Plans for one of Europe's largest onshore wind farms have been approved by the Western Isles Council.
