the Severn Boar (Bore?)

[Grinder]

Why would you ignore the predictable pattern of tidal power in favour of the expensive, intrusive inconsistent delivery of wave power?

No doubt because someone with major sway knows someone in wave power who has promised a back-hander; same as the rediculous promotion of wind power.

£22 billion.... billion estimated costs htf can it cost so much?

I wouldn't worry, they talk about it every now and again but don't forget this is the UK, building a football stadium is considered a major engineering feat.

Hahahahaha. Just watching news footage of the largest Severn Boar in years. Some people managed to get up and surf it but some other numty's were too slow on the surf boards and didnt catch it.

What a blast, biggest boar in ages and you miss the wave!

Its a pig alright!

I saw the beginning live on BBC, and it didn't look that impressive - although it was rather crowded.

Was it impressive?

Not really. Seen bigger waves in the local swimming pool when billy bunter jumps in!

Imagine all those surfers in their various pubs tonight, regaling everyone with their story of riding the bore.

Wrong way round, Shirley?

You're right, feck me all these years I thought it was the water coming back down after swelling up... I only live down the road too.

It's a bit of bugger when you reach Avonmouth and the car is still in Sharpness.

I hope it included the expert surfer on the radio this morning who said it isn't a wave, it's a swell.
