Heathrow closure - attention seeking meme videos

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Purple, Mar 21, 2025.

  1. Why do people send the media videos of themselves whining and stating the blindingly obvious?

    I don't care if you are sat in an Indian airport.

    Its an unfortunate fire, the news channel presenters are making sound as if they have to sacrifice their first born if they dont put some kind of conspiracy theory out there .
    The bus down our road was a minute late one day last week. I put it down to Russian sabotage of the engine in the bus

    It does seam a bit strange a site that big isn’t supplied by more than one substation to give some resilience

  9. Apparently - if you believe anything in the papers - the standby generator was co-sited with the substation, which seems a bit daft.

    It's also a bit strange that a high voltage electrical installation is filled with twenty tons of flammable oil! Surely there are non-flammable alternatives available?

    Yes, 20 tonnes of polychlorinated biphenyls - toxic and not very popular.

    You mean they all preferred Baaaaarnsly to Rotherham....can't see that! Doncaster will be open soon, that will be a better option.
