Call Me paranoid is you like. But more than once I have not been paranoid enough.
I *KNOW* what goes into designing a power station. I have made money out of writing their pre-commission test plan. But not as much as the 'Chartered Engineer' who got six times my fee just for flourishing a pen over the 'certification' page of my work of three months.
So when I hear stories like this it rings alarm bells in my head louder than those I fitted to my "Chernobyl Syndrome Detection" module
"Half a million people were hit by unscheduled power cuts on Tuesday after seven power stations, including Sizewell B in Suffolk, unexpectedly stopped working within hours of each other. The other power stations which suffered power outages included the coal-fired Longannet plant in Fife, and sites in Kent, Nottinghamshire, South Humber and Deeside."
"The outages forced the price of wholesale electricity up 35% to a new record high of £95 a MW hour."
"According to David Porter, chief executive of the Association of Electricity Producers, the disruption was due to a "gigantic coincidence".
I don't believe in coincidence on this scale.
Not least because my software was designed to stop it.
Which means one of two things. Either some Indian outfit has been outsourced to replace what I wrote and offerings from the Curry Capital have once again been proven to be inferior to the home-grown product, or maybe, just maybe, someone wants to teach us a lesson. I don't know if it's Greenpeace trying to salvage something from the brutal drubbing they have justly received now that even the Gordon And Alistair Show accept they are hell bent on destroying our way of life in the interests of shubbery, OR someone in Saudi wants to remind us who we are beholden to.
Either way, I say it's time to give this man a call ...
