I have just clicked on William’s link and it worked fine.

I do not have an Instagram account so no logging in was involved.

Interesting video too.

I thought Cragside laid claim to being the first house in the world to be lit by electricity (albeit using Swan’s bulbs/lamps).

Yes, I suppose basically we changed billing because BT could not match Plusnet pricing.which was a bit surprising considering the company relationship.

We changed our fixed line from BT to Plusnet about two years ago, no complaints so far.

When away from home I use my mobile as a Personal Hotspot on my 4/5G sim only contract.

Rather appropriately it’s in The Tea Room.

If it’s text can you scan it and paste the text into Google Translate or some similar APP?

The London Underground is a 4 rail system with (I think) one conductor rail in the running track centre with the other one beside the running track, the conductor rails are mounted on insulators.

I do not know which conductor rail has what function though.

Hope that makes sense.

About 3 years ago we were travelling around the Peterborough area and were very surprised at how relatively close to houses some of the turbines were..

Watching the video makes one wonder at the wisdom of that.

I see that a Wind Turbine collapsed in Wales during very high winds this week.

I notice frequently warnings are shown on screen about the language and attitudes prevalent in older programmes, perhaps Fred will become a victim of that soon.

I found most of his series entertaining and amusing.

Watched it last night, not overly impressed so hope it improves next week.

At 21.00 tonight there is a the start of a new series called smoke & Steam.

The listing in my tv mag says it will examine engineering marvels across the world.

Freeview 27. Freesat 159. Sky155. Virgin 129.

The warnings about electrical interference make interesting reading!

No worries Fusion power is just around the corner.😉

Cars with swappable battery packs:

maybe a potential candidate here;-

New Ecar

By the time the pylon has been redesigned and (probably) massively strengthened plus the likely issues of maintaining/repairing the turbine are taken into account I guess it might be better to put turbines up nearby?
