Fancy that Green electric in 1911/12 the way they go on these days you would think it was something new !

[Cambrian]

Very true Mull. A few of the slate quarries used hydro generation to power equipment and even some electric narrow gauge locomotives before WW2.  I think the power house at Betws reverted to Ancaster Estates when Welsh Water ceased to use it and the Estate were toying with the idea of reinstating generation to sell to the grid - not sure if that has happened yet.

Which is the alligator and which one is the crocodile?

[Hugo]

I think that it's the Croc on the right with the narrow jaw and the alligator on the left.    I'm not positive that I've got it the right way round as it was a snap decision

[Bri Roberts]

 

Does anyone agree with Hugo?

[DVT]

I would agree.  See you later.

... or in a while.

[SteveH]

I know one's a croc..................

[Hugo]

Another one with a 50/50 chance      Crocodile or Alligator       which one?

[Hugo]

There is probably a wide and a narrow fitting in this driving shoe but that won't help at all       

[Hugo]

You would have to be a snappy dresser to guess correctly with these driving shoes,  they are alligator shoes so one point to me       

[DVT]

... so they're not the ones Jimmy Nail sang about !!!

[Hugo]

What is this and where is it?

[Cambrian]

I think it is a ventilation shaft from a railway tunnel.  If so, I will proffer a couple of options Hugo. I am sure I have seen it!

[Hugo]

Well done Cambrian, that answer was quicker than the time it took for me to walk to it today.       

So where do you think I saw it?

[Cambrian]

Above the Blaenau tunnel ?
