   They also pay over the odds in compensation, (and can afford to because
they do not waste huge amounts of money in legal expenses), so people are
delighted to be given the chance to accept changes.

   I have just been to the centre of Hounslow where the street lamps have
sprouted fairly large solar panels and wind turbines. I wondered how soon

The lamps on the overhead A40 near White City were completely removed "for
safety reasons" because they were in danger of falling over without any
additional loads.
