Richard Hammond's engineering connections

mudsucker

DId anyone watch the new series of Richard Hammond's engineering connections last night? I missed it but just watched it on i player. Really interesting program, I find how things work and solutions to problems fascinating, prob because i'm a bit sad! Especially liked the water fountains at the end

didnt see it assumed that hammond programme would involve blowing up caravans

worth a watch then?

mudsucker

Unfortuatly no exploding caravans worth a watch though imo.

No exploding caravans, but there was a burning shed.

Add English to your list of 'how things work' and I will love you forever!

OK program but a bit dummed down.

For example, to stop the hotel burning down they turned to camera flashes....

Well not really, capacitors are just standard electronic equipment, I'm sure they didn't think of camera flashes to work out how to stop hot wires!!

Aye, a bit tenuous.

oh noes! I abreviated the word probably. Any other issues with my English? That's what we need on this forum, more grammar police :roll:

I thought it a bit odd that they talked about dimmers. Dimmers have been around for years, they weren't invented for that hotel! Same with the revolving door. I thought it was going to talk about specific engineering solutions that were thought up for that hotel. Sadly not.

I quite liked it though.

You could always put a capital letter on the word 'Oh' at the start of the sentence, and a full stop after 'police'.

Yeah whatever

Terribly sorry.

cuthbertsavage

Yeah, you need a verb for it to make any sense.

I am shocked by the standards of grammar amongst today's old people.
