Looks like the floodlights have a refurb, new blubs and some TLC

Thought this was going to about the annual H&S visit from the LA that usually occurs at this time of year.

Blubs ????....isn't that what the Cas fans are doing now they've lost Gale for the season ??

Saw the cherry-picker there a couple of hours ago too...hopefully brighten things up a bit

Lamps, you plant bulbs in the garden - or so all my electrical colleagues keep telling me

Also, it's a MEWP.

So long as we don't get any floodlights from HKR.
Is their ground open yet?

I seem to remember that additional blubs were evident at the beginning of last season. It makes sense to fit as many blubs as you can whilst you have the cherry picker available.

With regard to electricians & lamps - not bulbs ! My very good friends that are electricians, known as sparkies, were & are fixated on this subject.
In truth Thomas Eddison is credited as inventing the first electric light bulb, So called because when connected to electric the light shone in a bulbous shape - measured in Lumens, therefore elec/bulbs are called light bulbs, word bulbs is a shortened word/s - - " bulbs " & therefore nothing to do with plant bulbs !
We still jibe on this at times but bulbs is correct eg, hoovering up, is as we all know vacuuming with any vac !
Sorry to be boring but this issue has gone on for years in the trade.
Keep annoying the sparkies & up trin Trin !

Since we are being pedantic..... there is no vacuum in a vacuum.

Fascinating, if the conversation in the snug dries up tonight I'll wheel all this info out for discussion, should make the night fly by
