who do you work for ??

I work for Scottish Power Energy Networks, i presume thats one of the hydro's windfarms ?
I work for Siemens on a 50 Megawatt site in the North doing the service and maintenance. It's a magic job and I feel very privilaged to have it as my career. Apart from when it forces me to miss meets that is.

X3MCP - Is that the two 5 megawatt turbines beside the Betrice field ? Our company has nowt to do with them, different supplier. Good crack getting dropped of to work on an offshore turbine via chopper everyday I would imagine.

I don't actually work on the Turbines I'm on the Beatrice Alpha Platform, our guys operate the Turbine with Repower (Germany) but that would be ace getting dropped off by the Chopper

I reckon the "Not bothered" voters should re-vote. Then we can decide where/when to meet!
