At this point we might discover that the land we live on is only the surface bit, the government owns the rest?!
I do, and I've just found oil in my back garden! Its weird but it seems to be springing up exactly where I park the bus!?
I lived there as a lad, it was a really nice area before Gatwick Airport grew and grew, now its a horrible urban sprawl, Horley, Crawley, etc,...............drilling for oil there can't make it any worse. I say go for it!! I'm 130 miles away in Zummerset Tony
