Anyone see the irony of the recent power cut?

We are told by Turnip etc that wind power has no place in generating our
energy. As the wind doesn't blow 24/7.

Yes when we have a technical failure of a large windfarm, and a
conventional generator at the same time, we have a power cut which
effected millions of people.

But the nuclear lot want to put all our eggs in the one basket...


Sorry, must have missed that. I always thought the plan was multiple
generating plant, not just one big power station.


Eggs, John. Not egg.


Basket, not eggs.


OK then. How would you translate eggs and basket in this case?

Multiple grids from one generator? ;-)
