Wylex metalclad tall units are good plenty of room for working why can't other manufacturers make them. Will try those earth nuts may come in handy some time. Looks like you have had a busy week M.

Yes all those barrels of niagrra mate :^O

No we havent had any of it put in yet we arent to go regional for a couple of more years so who knows, the stickers are in place for where the equipment needs to go. There are talks if labour arent in power who ever takes over are going to be scrapping all the regional control rooms so it will be all a waste of money.

Yes heard the same apparently it's in the conservative manifesto to scrap it, but keeping 3 of the regional controls as disaster recovery/cobra command centres.

Wondred if you'd notice the niagrra, if I'd panned round you'd have got a shot of branches / stand pipes with a shed load of Rosenbauer spares.

 

[sparky999]

Can you get me a rosenbauer helmet

Yeah so all your hard work may not be needed in the end mate, as long as you keep getting paid and they keep giving work you will be laughing to the bank.
