Climate change, climate change, climate change; I am fed up of hearing this. I will probably get a load back, but before people do, history comes in here.

A wonderful TV programme, sadly missed, called Time Team, archaeologists who would venture here there and everywhere to excavate areas that appeared to have Roman or earlier remains.

A couple of sites were several miles from the sea, but during excavations, found during the Roman occupation, there were docks and shipwright nails, as the sea came right up to the village. We are now ignoring history, as in Roman times the sea came in much further than it is today, and we are going "back to the future".

So why do we have to pay for something we do not have very much control over?
