    But its going to take two years to build.

    Since when has, 'up to 19 months' been two years ?

    Shirley, that is standard time-planning in any construction job?

    "They want it inside 18 months."

    "Yeah well - it's going to take two years. Tell 'em it'll take 18

    Usual in accuracy of hacks - did they mean "entire county"?

    But why? What's so special about Bilsdale?

    I suspect it is not referring to specifically Bilsdale, more likely the
    whole North Yorkshire Moors.
