Dimensions, get your lovely dimensions here

Apparently, there is a new site provided by the BBC "Dimensions".
http://howbigreally.com/
The purpose is to demonstrate the scale of events by overlaying worldwide events on satellite images of your neighbourhood.
Examples are Oil spills, Chernobyl disaster, Luftwaffe bombs ( for some unPC reason ) dropping on your town, and many others.
When asked how much damage a WW2 bomb dropped on Bradford would cause, it is alleged that a leading counsellor replied "There would be £19.2m worth of civil improvements".
Apparently you can also overlay the Gulf oil spill over your area, "so you can see what it would look like from you door".
Now i know crude oil is pretty sticky but as i live at 700 ft above sea level, that is a pretty deep puddle.
Away and play.

np's about hijack, it happens all the time and in any event i find it leads to more posts, more fun

Skeggy has made a lot of progress in recent years. Got a lovely green beach where you can sit your granny all day to watch the wind farm whilst you go to the pub.  |

Sorry was referring to the visual pollution inflicted on us by the hardly get its feet wet just offshore wind farm they have seen fit to build at skeggy. A real improvement to our quality of life. Might just charge an aa battery a year if we are lucky, no doubt cost millions and will probably cost more millions to remove when the idiots in Whitehall get round to admitting wind farms are a total waste of time.  |
