Though I loved the life ,  dear old Blue Funnel were mostly DC  powered and  I thought  my only other job prospects  would be as a curator in
     a  DC museum.
  So, a big relief to get to Hinkley Point B.
 Which is how I  got to  'play' on the  reactor simulator at Berkeley , irradiating  most of the West Country  when it went super-critical.
 It always makes me smile when I see Homer Simpson do that in the opening scenes.
 Some really scary stuff held deep underground there too , you will have to ask your bro' about that.

Re: The infamous Connector
I wish I could but we lost him about ten years ago. His name was John Bozworth...? Might you have known him? He was a great engineer and my inspiration as a child. He built his own welder, with which he made a cement mixer with which he built his own house!jrh wrote: βThu Jan 06, 2022 9:20 amThough I loved the life , dear old Blue Funnel were mostly DC powered and I thought my only other job prospects would be as a curator in
