@lordmvarder Glad you enjoyed it 🤣

Never doing Royal ascot on a Saturdays again. Absolute chaos. £41 for a very small jug of Pimm’s.

@lordmvarder @rjmunro @edwinhayward Don’t need a study to work that out mate

@rjmunro @edwinhayward How would that solve the maximum transfer you can get across a boundary? If there is a maximum transfer of 5GW, a demand of 1GW but 10GW of generation what do you do? I can guarantee you won’t find and extra 4GW of demand

This is wild. Wind farms in Scotland were paid to suspend generation at the same time as gas plants in the south of England were paid to turn generation on. Our electricity market model is so, so broken. No wonder we have the highest prices in the world.

@m3nsy1 @agbdrilling @lordmvarder there she blows

@agbdrilling Is this the one in Tilbury? youtu.be/mSZqCYxEy2Q?si…

My ex Sapper Mate works for a company that checks out construction sites for unexploded WW2 Ordnance etc. On a site in Essex they located an anomaly 8 metres down. They had to dig this shaft to locate it. You can see one of the specialists at the bottom of the hole. Thread

@jessicakgower Hope you have a lovely time Jess

@EngineerLondon Can’t rush it James

Just finished all my load checks. As soon as I can get the Comm OC pulled out we can tap it about a bit. If @UKPowerman don’t off load it soon, I’m gonna yank it out live 🫢

@EngineerLondon All very clever, when you know you know 😘

I’m remote end monkey 🐵 today. Helping with some load tests on a new transformer which is 2km away from here. Just rearranging the system now to give it load whilst being under a RoT. Clever stuff eh 😛😍

@lordmvarder @hbscouse @pylonofthemonth @EngineerLondon 🤣 great times mate, still makes me chuckle after all these years

@UKPowerman @hbscouse @pylonofthemonth @EngineerLondon I don’t think so it’s going up down 30 foot.

4ZP at Sharnyford above Bacup made famous in the 1986 galloping conductor film looking slightly more serene in the Autum mist on this cold morning ride from Hebden Bridge. @pylonofthemonth @EngineerLondon

@EngineerLondon Known to some as a Qualitrol

Pressure Relief Device (PRD) Not a new idea But these are the latest model from MR / Messko and are dead easy to test. We trust they’ll NEVER need to operate 🙏🏻

@EngineerLondon Sorry we couldn’t do one more for the road, we had too much switching to get things back

Mesh Corner fault simulation at 05.14 this morning. And that completes our pre winter DAR checks 🎉🥳🙌🏻🎊 My assistant was brilliant and next time I shall assist her. 💖💪🏻 DAR is life ☺️

@deloreancars @EngineerLondon Surely they’re Pylons 😘

@EngineerLondon Towers?

(Towers) 😘 And YES, every day we delay will add to constraint costs (= bills) and carbon emissions sadly. Politicians have dithered too long. The days of dithering must be numbered

@geoff20man Top man @PaulSpoonsShone

📕📘⚽📻 just walked past Waterstones at Cribbs Causeway and Paul from Clifton Rugby club was coming out of the store with a book in his hand! Incredible!!

@UKPowerman @DarylEifion @RosieP4 @muvapig @Bobbadbig @smiliesarah @ReynliR31271 @dxchapman @nfsway60 @Telegraph @PylonsEAnglia @Ed_Miliband @riversideros @ZakM180 Done some great slides on that for your stand down day. Just awaiting some photos of X313 to seal the deal

My opinion in @Telegraph. Pylons are not cheap. Alternatives are better, cheaper and more popular. Miliband can’t be allowed to get away with this pylon vandalism uk.news.yahoo.com/miliband-t-all… @PylonsEAnglia @Ed_Miliband

@EngineerLondon @DarylEifion @RosieP4 @muvapig @Bobbadbig @smiliesarah @ReynliR31271 @dxchapman @nfsway60 @Telegraph @PylonsEAnglia @Ed_Miliband @riversideros @ZakM180 Very similar and just as much fun

@EngineerLondon “I am not expert on 33kV” oh yes you are 🤣
