Right chaps! Tell me about old radios and having to get the accumulator topped up?
GLENROBBO!
Radio?GLENROBBO!
Do you mean the wireless? Or one of those new-fangled crystal thingamebobs?
I'm sorry Magoo, but I'm not very well versed in a that modern malarkey.
Cocoa tins and waxed string is more my forté.
I do have some knowledge of accumulators, however, as a stored reservoir of power in steam or hydraulic systems. Or a potentially different storage device of electrickery.

Big V remembers going to get accumulators topped up when she was a child. Her dad made a special crate type box on the back of her bike. She took six of them to some type of factory to get topped up and said that lasted the wireless about six weeks?
Ah yes! I remember now... The accumulator jobbies were in a rectangular glass casement thing containing lead sheet plates and separators, with a Bakelite top, some screwed plug caps and a threaded connector post at each end. They contained some liquid that tasted a bit like Battert's Premium Schnapps, but without the metallic aftertaste.
Yeah, but you can see what the AstraZeneca one has done to g3org3y!!!!
Morning chaps
I have a stiff neck again!
Still, it's Friday!!!
Watched Inside Chernobyl last night, Russia have never admitted how many actually died, but they had a guy with them who was there he said he'd learned to live with pills in his pocket a long time ago, and they did say that the poor bds who went up on the roof to clear it died in their 000's!!!

Morning Trivialites. I’m off to parkhouse this morning, then I have a ten o’clock met with a colleague before going to Ravenhead. These are both brickyards.
So I’ll be outside all day enforcing loading and strapping policy.
Ibstock have a massive bee in their bonnet about this at the minute.
The trouble is, all the work is ours, if you see a brick truck belonging to another company he is our subbie ( well not all, but 9 out of ten maybe ), and if they mess up it’s our fault.
So it’s Stoke and Skelmersdale today.
The bright side is, my mileage allowance means I effectively run the car for free. I will have to up my business miles though if this keeps up.

Huddle in a brick hut wearing a mask, apron and heavy boots over your normal gear, then run like fk to the stairs. Run like fk up them to the roof and shovel the st for 30 seconds, then reverse above.
No wonder they died.
Then there was the fireman who stayed inside the building when it kicked off to shut something down and it stopped it going critical and exploding in a gigantic nuclear fireball. Poor bugger absorbed stupid amounts of radiation in seconds but saved millions of people with his actions.
With regards to tidying up Bobbers, our Tech Ops Manager is exactly the same, he threw a st fit of epic proportions because someone had been in his "special" toolkit and stolen all of his t handled allen keys.
Would they be the ones you've left strewn around the building, usually in autoclaves of varying states of disrepair?
He stripped down a delivery of parts from our European hub the other week, the pallet and all of the crap he left on top of it is still on the floor because "I'm far too busy and important to tidy that up" yet he can have a 2 hr rant about how his generation is being screwed over by everyone and my generation is responsible as i'm part of the golden generation.
That's absolute rubbish of course but it's just an excuse to have a go at me because i don't worship at his feet or suck up to him like some do.
He's an oananist too
