There are fresh calls to abandon controversial plans to extract shale gas from beneath Lancashire as an investigation tries to determine if it is linked to two earthquakes in the last two months.

The test drilling on the Fylde coast has been suspended following the latest quake on Friday.

I read somewhere that Lancashire was a hot spot, or was it a " Hot Pot".
