    Might look at it if it was made of 30CM thick lead.

    Apparently Iran are looking at it latter this week.

    When the picture first came up i thought that looks quite nice.
    Where i live now is next door to a school and the kids are a pain but if i had to choose i'll stay here.

    I have visited Dungeness many times. It is a slightly strange but very appealing place. Derek Jarman the film director lived out his last years there.
    Oddly enough the rather brutal looking power station sort of adds to the weird other-wordly feel of the place.

    An advert for an "exceptional fisherman's cottage" in Kent has been criticised for failing to mention the nuclear power station on its doorstep.


    The three-bedroom "not to be missed" bungalow at Romney Marsh, Dungeness, is being sold for £247,000.


    Estate agent Geering & Colyer points out its proximity to a nature reserve and photos show it in rural isolation.
    They could have said:

    "Excellent access to local employment opportunities, fantastic proximity to a local, natural energy supply and wonderful adjacency to regional architechture."

    Sorted.

    I've not been to Dungeness, does it look like the thingy near Wantage? I'd live within view of that I think. I find those towers, not exactly attractive but nevertheless intriguing. A friend used to have them in view and I remember finding them overbearing at first but then grew used to them. I'd take them well before near an airport runway.

    Ive worked in Dungeness many a time and fished from the beach too and I can tell you its bloody cold in the winter and bloody cold in the summer...

    As for the power station, I caught a whiting once with 2 heads from abot 500 metres away from the B reactor.
    It is a strange place, not a tree in sight,but artists seem to love it, God knows why.........

    I think £2-75p would be a fair price for the house.........:D PS great fish shop there.....well recommend it..

    The fish shop, i suppose it offers good value for money if all the fish have two heads.

    Not really. Personally I don't eat fish heads. Now if it had two bodies then maybe.
