The Military had a watch like one the lads would wear in a nuclear environment & the RSM/2ic would take readings daily to assess exposure & survivability of the individual soldier.

I know Dave it was tongue in cheek mate, the smileys were the give away:rolleyes::D

We had to wear 2, one on our left lapel and the other on the cuff - depended whether you were R or L handed.

I think that would have been Springfields Jay. They manufactured parts/equipment for the nuclear industry - not just power stations.

Ya Barrie Springfields, It had a sign outside saying British Nuclear fuels Ltd , that was back in 76

If Squaddies are glowing in the dark it's a fair bet it's down to Alcohol :)

.

200 megawatt = 200,000,000 watts

3.6 gigawatt = 3,600,000,000 watts

So it's only 18 times as big.

:eek:

Better if it were a British company, who were about to profit massively from the winds that blow across Lancashire.

Better still, if the ugly thinks were stuck out in the Irish Sea, where they couldn't be viewed as a blot on the landscape.

Even better than both, if a British company was harvesting tidal power, of which we have some of the most dramatic on the planet.

As you can guess, I'm not a German sympathiser, and therefore don't think this news is particularly good.

Perhaps they decided they preferred Jerseys with their Bratwursts, rather than Ormskirks.

As is your right.

I don't, and eleborated on that, by giving reasons why.

Which didn't take a great deal of energy.
