Watt?
Near us at Crofton south of Hungerford is the pumping station at the high point of the Kennet & Avon canal. The job is now done by a small electric pump but the original beam engines are still there and are fired up occasionally. One is a James Watt engine.

I'm from Greenock and went to the local College named after James Watt. Fat lot of feckin' use it did me...

HND'tastic!

Amazingly they can do neuro-surgery as a day case these days, went to theatre about 9.30 woke up about 1pm after they chopped all the disc out at the c5/6 level then plated it and put the cage in with all the cement so they can fuse the vertebrae together which will hopefully cure my pain. I was home by 8pm feeling absolutely fine apart from an incredibly sore throat and a 3 inch cut across my neck (it will make a cool scar as it looks like someone tried to slit my throat biggrin)
It will take some time for things to settle down so I know how well it has worked by the signs so far are pretty good.
Fingers crossed it keeps on that good trajectory for you GOG smile

Rutherglen sounds much nicer mate.

You can be the monarch of the Rutherglen.
