Tank Trap


Engineering have been on again to say they're gagging for the test-tank they claim will be the biggest in Europe, albeit because nobody uses them any more... adding as a teaser it qualifies for a government grant to spend on fast women or slow cars.

I do break off for a tour of the site, when I imagine I must look to the neighbours very much like Elon Musk did whilst being solicited by Texas.

My principal concerns are two-fold during the assessment, the first being where the wheelie-bins are going to go and second, how locals will react to withdrawl of what until now has proved to be a very popular amenity. I am also pissed off by the fact I spent forty quid at Decathlon on a pair of waders: but you go on, ignore the budget. 

It is however tough at the top, and decisions like these are what I'm here for.
