Radio comment on the residents of the upper dales

[NorthernRaider]

Heard this tonight 2nd hand and made me realise our community is much bigger than we generally accept its just many people dont realise they are preppers.

A Rural planning officer on a local radio station was sharing the air time with someone from one of the local tourism agencies.

The lady from the tourism agency was asked by the host
" What do you think is the most astounding feature of the upper dales?"

She replied the " great open wilderness spaces that are beautiful to behold for visitors to the dales"

The host asked the guy from the planning experts the same question and he said

" Yes its beautiful but in my world the dales are becoming known for everyone fitting solar panels, micro wind turbines, polytunnels, chicken coupes and racing up and down hills looking for steams with a fast enough flow to fit micro archemedes screws to power their homes."
