Looks like another delay of a year till operation & then speculative running at 2/3 stated capacity due to underestimating the salinity within the draw area.

"A £250m desalination plant launched 12 years ago to increase drinking supplies during long dry spells has been put on hold, as water companies in England and Wales face growing political pressure over their management of the supply crisis"

I've read the article but what does "not Spencer properly" mean?

I think Gus is a little dehydrated!

I had wondered if it was an obscure reference to "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em" (i.e Frank Spencer)

I think he meant to say "speced"

or even "specced!"
How do you abbreviate "specified?" Specced... Specked?

We recently fitted a new modem, not everything is set up for handshakes with extenders so I had one, then no bars of signal, ..then there's auto-fudgin-correct as the cherry on the top!

Yes, "specced" ..a well recognised term for maybe 25+ years now.

Anyhoo you bunch of Roger irrelevants

Feckers.

First thing I do when getting any new device is permanently disable the random word guessing function, been caught out by it too many times and it's more of a faff going back and editing the word than it is to type it in full in the first place.

No mocking meant Mr Gus.
Why do none of the said water experts work for Thames Water, you would think if they were going to spend £250M on a project they would find out all the details of the water source they were to use!

I think they did know where the feed was to come from... there is a huge sewage works outfall near there (so relatively fresh water,) I guess they assumed it could be diverted to feed the desalination plant but the management or directors of the company didn't have the nerve to implement it!
