Indeed Margaret, you didn't use the word 'all'. However given your profession I'd have thought you would know that zero article used with plural nouns become generic references.

If anyone thinks this is a planning abomination take a look at those solar panels going up on the left hand side of the B3192 near Ashcombe. What an eyesore it will be. How could that get through?
@Margaret Swift - "questions remain and lessons need to be learned". What questions, what lessons, and what 'thorough investigation' is needed? What has happened that suggests this enterprise has failed before it has even opened its doors?
