Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Yes, I asked a construction worker on one of the bp station . he said all bp stations that are being re-furbished are to get a roof full of panels . he told me the general public would not be able to see some of them as they were being installed with a apron around the roof ,,something to do with security, guys climbing up there and pinching them .

Sand groper is what we call the Folks west of the border in WA just like here in SA we get called crow eaters.
So Karl you have moved from a Rubber neck to a Sand Groper.
