[BNM] [OT] Brighton's nuclear power station?

[Oliver Marshall]

I've always imagined, personally, that nuclear power isnt really for the
public school peeps amongst us (not me, I was educated in the school of
life). I mean, its more for the working class man aint it? Cheap affordable
power, plenty of it to run your consoles etc and plasma tellies.

Public school peeps don't need nukes for running cigars, hefty novels and
fine cognac. Worst case, they chuck another Jeeves on the treadmill.
