Wasn't aware until recently that Economy 7 electricity meters are synced using a longwave #Radio4 signal transmitted from Droitwich (#RTS).

Loving the idea that this service is time-limited by a single banal condition. As Wikipedia puts it:

"n October 2011, the BBC stated that the Droitwich transmitter ... will cease to operate when one of the last two valves breaks, and no effort would be made to manufacture more nor to install a replacement longwave transmitter."

Tough road ahead. But, with my potent milk drink, I can take on anything. #Taskmaster. ( Also, a new #StrongMessageHere up at 9.45 on #Radio4 and #BBCSounds. )

Just now even @BBC #Radio4 platforms exNATO deputy Supreme Commander Sir Richard (?surname) saying UK should *absolutely not* join US & Israel’s war on Iran. Of course Gibb’s feckless #R4 tool (Paddy?) sez others may disagree. Sir Richard stuffed him. Next guest near-mocked him. “Wind is changing!”
