    Yeeehaw! It's a gusher!

    Business Matters"Significant moveable oil" found at Gatwick Gusher

    For dear old Freako, this relates to the discovery of oil in the Weald.

    Just what we need with the price at $30/barrel.

    The oil found is at a test well dubbed the Gatwick Gusher in Kimmeridge which is in Dorset

    So whats the connection with an onshore exploration licence near Gatwick. apart from a similar name ???
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            The Lower Kimmeridge Limestone Bed refers to the rock strata not the place it was found. The well is in the Weald Basin, which is near Gatwick Airport.

            The Kimmeredge Limestone Beds are named after the location at which it is visible at the surface.

              Gatwick wants independence and will claim the oil as there own. Just as soon as it gets to $100 a barrel.

                Only those born within the sounds of a 747 will count.

                  From the profits at 20$ a barrel should be able to extend the car park at Gatwick slightly, or maybe refresh some road markings.

                  I'm alright Jack
