Are you sure that beef was banned?

from export.... point being it was not classed as safe as it had killed people when being told it was fine by those we look to for answers (government!).

You should add 'current evidence' to this sentence - remember British Beef was 100% safe to eat as assured by the government and it's scientific advisors - this transpired to wrong and beef was banned!

Research is always ongoing - imagine if you are in the house and a strong link is found - your house will be unsellable at pretty much any price. It's all about your views on avoidable risk!

So you eat bananas? Drink Orange juice? Watch television? Travel on the trains? Drive a car? Wear cotton socks? Post on MSE?

No "current evidence" that these cause cancer/!!!!!! to fall off either. But you still do them.

Why? Research is always ongoing! Just now you could find a study that says listening to an ipod makes you sprout two heads! Its an avoidable risk!

Dont do any of these things or Prince Phillip and MI6 might kill you!

You thundering moron.

Beef Was Also Banned Off Our Menus Here...i Worked Offshore At The Time And No Tbone Steak.

Bf109, No there is no direct link to overhead wires causing cancer, but there are so many links from around the world that have similar conclusions to say that it promotes cancer. Granted the evidence sponsored by power stations will probably refute that evidence.

Ok, no one is 100% sure, but just got the ones below from the first page of google.

I do not think anything will be proven as there is so much at stake in this country and government claims. How do you cost an alleged "3000 premature deaths per annum"

anyone have problems with electrical equipment going kaput at a higher frequency when living near substations etc. at times of lightning etc tv sets go funny, same happens when near substations atleast in places where the electrical standards are not up to uk standards. so dont know if it will be similar in uk as well near substations etc. pretty costly if one regularly needs to repair equipment when u cant have a way to prove something in the vicinity may be causing it. ever had a few tv sets and phones etc need repairs in a place near a substation but never had such problems in other places. coincidence may be, but i have my doubts. ever wonder why EU regulations are coming in regulating magnetic fields etc, because there are doubts still.

would one want to risk losing a lot of money from the property if evidence did come out. your choice. how ever this very uncertainity might get u bargains compared to other areas. even if there is no evidence what so ever, public perception is what matters and is what will affect prices in future as well. as long as that is factored in to your decision, it is your choice what risks are acceptable to you

i wouldnt mind buying a #13 but purely from a practical point of view with regard to resale values. one does need to recognise that the #13 will put off quite a few superstitious buyers, so one would be decreasing the potential pool of buyers. so with this in mind (money not superstition) i would be more likely to buy #12 or #14 and if i did buy #13 it would be for a lot less. ever wonder why many hotels dont have #13 or a #13th floor etc, similar practical reasons and not superstition. when thinking of buying and selling one needs to think of the human factors and not just 1+1=2. if that 1+1 indeed was =2 then all 3b semis in a street would be worth similar amounts but that isnt what happens in practice.

We lived about a mile from a large sub-station and they simply turned the electric off to the village every time there was a thunder storm. And we had some mighty ones there! Indescribable really except to say that I'd never experienced anything like it before; they were always right on top of us and sometimes petrifiying - especially when it's pitch black :wall: Since we've moved about 10 miles away, thunderstorms are never that close.

So I'd say the risk of us getting hit by lighting is greatly reduced by not living near so much electricity!

see extract below. see the link for detailed article

The Stakeholder Advisory Group on ELF EMFs (SAGE) has been set up by the UK Department of Health to explore the implications and to make practical recommendations for a precautionary approach to power frequency electric and magnetic fields as a result of the HPA recommendations in March 2004.
The first interim assessment of this group was released in April 2007, and found that the link between proximity to power lines and Childhood Leukemia was sufficient to involve a precautionary recommendation, including an option to lay new power lines underground where possible and to prevent the building of new residential buildings within 60 m (197 ft) of existing power lines.
The latter of these options was not an official recommendation to government as the cost-benefit analysis based on the increased risk for childhood leukemia alone was considered insufficient to warrant it. The option was considered necessary for inclusion as, if found to be real, the weaker association with other health effects would make it worth implementing
