This is why we shouldn’t sell the ESB! Or Board gas!, With all their accountant government reports, they fail to understand, that if one engineer, makes a tiny mistake in their 1’s and 0’s the accountants won’t have the power or the programs to do anything , in two words “respect engineers” as he or she will get the lights on! The Accountant will only tell you how much is going to cost or how much the outage will cost, but you will be still in the dark!
