AngusDe Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 All, I noticed the following on Twitter yesterday:- "40 days till electric services run on Paisley Canal. Remarkable when its not 40 days since we started work on the project" Less than 80 days seems impressive to me! Although I suspect work started on the "project" long before it started on the "ground"!
