      CONCLUSION 1. Their marketing department is utter tulip.

      The name is Cruachan, BTW

      The web site says: "The hollow mountain is a place like no other" except it is like the other sites that are similar.

      At a quick search, I can see nothing that explains why they exist. Wikipedia does a better job.

      CONCLUSION 2. As an educational resource, it is a waste of money.

      So at a time when we need to be educating children about energy use, this perfect opportunity shows utter FAIL.
      My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

          When I was doing Mech Eng at uni I had a friend that was doing a bums on seats degree in technology. He just could not understand the concept what the place was there for and refused to believe that the place was a net user for power. I told him that if he was correct then we should just use a couple of barrels in the back garden to produce our domestic power, he thought that was a great idea.

          I went on to do computing and now he is a very senior engineering manager. No wonder engineering is fecked in this country.

              Hey, I 'm back...

              You had a friend and you think he is a twat, they do say a man can be measured by his friends. Then again I find it hard to believe you had a friend other than a crusty sockpuppet.
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                So, you want to f**k up another thread? Very public spirited of you.

                F**k off, seriously.
