There used to be a scaffold company that went to Didcot power station. They were called 'BJ Champion'. Always thought it was a bit of an odd thing to advertise :D

I'm after some advice on wiring a plug. I'm normally okay with plugs but this one has me confused. What cable should I be using and would a 3A fuse be okay? I've attached a couple of pictures to give you a better idea of what I'm working with.

I know it's not a tower crane but I've just been working at a power station where they were using a huge Baldwin 1275t mobile crane. It had to be assembled on site by another crane and a convoy of lorries. Photo attached is of the crane from Baldwins web site.

I'm not a fan of JC but The Grand Tour is far better than Top Gear. The new team just don't work.

Just to check everything I've just run a full scan with Avast followed by AVG and then Malwarebytes and the phone comes up as clean with all three.

I've got a 7.3kW unit in our holiday chalet in Somerset and it's useless. You have to have a very slow flow to get any decent heat output. In cold weather like we have at the moment the incoming water is even colder so the outgoing 'hot' water is not very warm at all. It would take forever to...

Coal is still running at 10.73GW at 21:30. I know a few site engineers on the coal sites who will be very happy. When I checked earlier today demand was up to 50GW and about the only things not running were the OCGT's. If this weather keeps up I reckon a few of them will need to come online. The...

He makes tuna do what?

I know I'm Welsh but some of us are human :)

Hmmmmm.....that photo isn't actually me :D

I went for 2 x 3Tb Toshibas. Only time will tell if was the right move but they seem quiet and so far running at a reasonable temperature.

Can any of them :(

I mainly work on transformers and switchgear at power stations and subs and I've never come across a green phase markers. None of the Grid, WPD or SSE sites I've been to have had green phase markers either so perhaps it's a very old system?

My body :p
