BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Scots urged to use kettle caution ()

  „People in Scotland drink more than 100 million cups of tea, coffee and hot chocolate every week. The executive warns that overfilling the kettle wastes valuable energy and contributes to climate change. Its campaign, supported by ScottishPower, says overfilling kettles wastes enough energy in a week to light a house for a day or run a TV set for 26 hours. Thirsty tea-drinkers could also save 90 seconds each time they boil a kettle by putting in the required amount of water.“

  „Many years ago meteorologists thought that the rain bearing depressions that invade us from the Atlantic, formed at the sea level and "grew" up through the atmosphere. It now seems more likely that they start to form around the jet streams and percolate downwards.“

BBC ON THIS DAY | 6 | 1983: Danes raid British fishing grounds BBC ON THIS DAY | 6 | 1983: Danes raid British fishing grounds

  „During the first three weeks of January 1983, European fishing laws were in a state of limbo and during this time the UK enforced the Sea Fish (Specified UK Waters - Prohibition of Fishing) Order 1982. On January 23, the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) came into force giving equal access to fishing grounds to European countries, with quotas set by the Council of Ministers. So the British government had to lift the ban. Some 18 months later, in July 1984, Kent Kirk won his case against the British government in the European Court of Justice.“
