    oops, beaten by DM.
    So I found out. It proves one thing, I have to get out, go and have a look. There must have been mobs of concrete trucks up that beach to build Teewah . I bet they have a story to tell. LG.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Just think of it as doing their bit about ocean "acidification" which is BS of course as it is really alkalinity reduction.

    The components of
    concrete
    are Portland
    Cement
    , rock (aggregates), and water. Portland
    Cement
    is the “binding” component in
    concrete
    and has a pH approaching 11, which is very
    alkaline
    . If you remember your high school chemistry, neutral pH is 7. Above 7 is
    alkaline
    , and below 7 is
    acidic
    .


    PS don't tell any scientists or they will start dumping concrete in the ocean at every opportunity.

    Regards PhilipA
