He would have Ron, but for the reasons he always used to state. At least one potential recoverer, wanted to get them out, but I think , without thinking of what the locals wanted in return, i.e a school, sheltered housing , a minibus, whatever.

Mick was a great believer in , "If you take something out, you must put something back" and I don't believe, that the recoverer(s) in this case, really gave a toss for the locals.

Net result, they stay where thay are, till the Latvians get what they want, and god knows, they've given enough clues. Just go to the Latvian water authorities site, to get an idea of what they NEED.

Their stonewalling re. conservation, is not an attempt to be difficult, they have a genuine concern, partly out of wishing to preserve the quality of what drinking water they have, thanks to the Russians polluting vast tracts of water with fuel and hazmat, and partly because the EU give grants fot their continuing to operate quite strict water conservation policies.

Mick was all about "Ethical Recovery" and I'm very very happy to support his point of view
