But they were swayed (somehow) by SHETL pleading poverty. <br /><br />The same seems to be the case for Beauly-Denny. Why should it bother the Scottish Exec that SHETL should have to fork out more cash to bury cables underground or stick them in the sea? Brown envelopes? I don't think its as sophisticated as that. The B-D decision issued by Mather makes Mckaskill's Al Mehgrahi fiasco look almost credible.Dr Evadnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106629519215495848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-52595660681170564972010-01-13T17:55:17.860+00:002010-01-13T17:55:17.860+00:00"cackhanded and bumbling"
