What Earthquake
First I would like to express my sincere thanks for all the messages and concern from people across the world who have contacted us regarding the reported earthquake that has hit Cornwall in the last 24 hours.
Very kind of you Lindsey and Sharonπππ
Amongst the concerns shown may I immediately allay your fears and inform you Sharpβs Brewery is intact and fully operational, phew.π»π»π»
Yes the TV and press have reported an earthquake shook West Cornwall measuring 2.2 magnitude, some residents reported hearing a sound like thunder, Radio Pasty presenter Rebeca Wills, from Helston added βThere was a low rumble and there was like a sonic boomβ, if only she knew.π
However when Horace and Hoof tiptoed across the breakfast room floor this morning with singed eyebrows, tails, and professor style looks on their faces the game was up.π
You see mains electricity had always been low on the agenda here in Cornwall, we have always prioritised free range alcohol, so we could be as happy as pigs in you know what. π·π»π»π»
However one night there was a meeting held by many of the local village elders and they came to the conclusion we needed these services on demand, or on tap so to speak.β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈπ‘π‘π‘
So under the cover of darkness Hoof and Horace set off down to Poldhu Cove near Mullion quipped with a set of jump leads and a few jubilee clips.ππππ¦π¦π¦
As this is a fair distance from where we live H & H had to stop halfway to take on alcohol, so the boys went into a pub, Hoof had the jump leads hanging around his neck, the bar man looked at Hoof and said βdonβt start anythingβ.π·π·π·
The boys had a few games of spoof with the locals as they always do, then following a few jokes and a healthy exchange of banter Hoof packed the cash they had relieved the locals of into his saddle bags and they were on their way again.π·π·π·
H & H rocked up at Poldhu Cove an area they had staked out on several previous occasions, and had soon uncovered the transatlantic power cable that comes in there.β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ
If you remember Marconi made his first transatlantic signal from here.π»
So in no time the boys had connected the jump leads to the T A cable and into a near by sub station and no sooner than you could say Thomas Edison and there was an almighty flash followed by a big bang, unfortunately Horace had connected the positive lead to the negative cable, he had forgotten to put on his little reading glasses and white coat like a mini professor (thank you Gill).π
Come on just a simple mistake, the leads and connections were quickly swapped over and we were good to go and the whole of Cornwall had mains electricity , and not an earthquakeπ‘π‘π‘π§π¨π©π»π»π»ππ·πππ
Thank you all so much for viewing my images, the comments you leave are always so appreciated.
I trust you all have a lovely weekend irrespective of the weather, I will leave you with this thought, an old charecter in the village use to say βThere is no such thing as bad weather, it is being inappropriately dressedβ
