Bo**ocks! It’s p*ssing it down again. Whose turn is it to go back to the bunker and post today’s eagerly awaited artwork? Anyone … ?

Who is going to get soaked this evening? Does it matter if there is no nightly picture? Will the Leaderboard get updated? Click-the-Pic™ if and when it appears to find out!

I’m claiming 2 points for this video clip of Woodsmith Mine nr Whitby. All the polyhalite minerals (when working) are transported miles underground to Teeside so the conveyer belt is hidden. I swear theres a 2 storey office thing but youtube seems to be stuck at low definition for me at the moment!

Fair enough, I wanted to get closer but thought Anglo American might shoot me down!

A fully choked 12-bore might get you at 40 metres. If a drone is moving it would have to be a very skilled / lucky shot with a rifle at further range. Get in close! :slight_smile:

easier said than done for us sensitive folks who think everyone within 5 miles must be disturbed by the drone, because I can hear it :rofl: :rofl:
