And there was me thinking one of our village girls was going to win. Ah well. Perhaps next year.

Give TAT a chance. They'll soon put that right.............

Absolutely and totally off topic:- I did some work at Wookey Hole mill for Thorn EMI Datatech (the mill was quite high tech at that time) who made data recorders for satellite receivers. That was about 1985. Myself and a couple of other contractors used to pop up the hill to the Priddy Inn for friday "lunch". First time I ever tried Thatchers Cider and was an instant convert. That recorder contract was later transferred to the main Wookey Hole Road TEMI site and my contract reinstated for skills continuity.

In the mid '60's, the older buildings at BAe Filton had signs on the roof to warn people not to walk on the asbestos roof but to use the duck boards instead. Since that was a bit pre-google I guess they had no way of telling if they were using incorrect terminology. One day, in the not too distant future, every time the tide comes in they may earn the name I called them then you will be glad you fitted them and you can laugh at your neighbours who are without.

Didn't they used to be called "duck boards"? Don't forget to make your connections prior to bolting down the panels unless, that is, you have a team of powerful, big red ants standing by. Also hoe are you fixing your panels to the frome? There doesn't appear to be much hand space between panels and roof.

Wrong question. You don't want to know where it is now ........... you want to know where it will be tomorrow.

The police seem to have had this well organised. They knew where the criminals were and went in ready for a fire fight. So why didn't they act on individual cases weeks or maybe months ago? There was police activity in a village about three kilometres from my house. A drug dealer was shot and killed in an ensuing gunfight.

And there you have it. That's another way of saying he took his eye off the ball or, if you want it simplified, he didn't take into account the probable response of his customers. Not a good company CEO. What is "tefft"?

You're probably right. I would imagine there would be a lot of work and cost involved getting the road surfaces up to scratch. Pit stop locations. Arranging spectator viewpoints and many other things which would be needed to attract the motor sport followers.

You're being a bit over the top aren't you.

You are indeed but like I said. "That seems to be the way of things"

Thanks for that Fruit Trader. This is new information for me. It would seem I have been kept in the dark for the past three years.

That's a bit close to the truth. However I suspect this was all planned well in advance and a new footbridge was included in the overall scheme. Pity the plans were not made public, but then that seems to be the secretive way of things with government projects.

Minor and quite possibly irrelevant correction. Electricity is produced by EGAT. PEA is the provincial distributor and does not produce electricity. I wasn't aware you were using generators. How do you get the fuel for them up all those steps?
