YSW ferry pier,
an ancient bike magnet-fished out of the harbour
by Alex Summerson:
"I caught that magnet
fishing, so technically, going
off the mandatory law every
human follows 'finder's keepers'
then, that's my bike you're
selling.
90% of the time it's just
scrap metal or rebar. A few
things that weren't:
Electric hand saw, old
trolley, bottle tops, fishing
gear.
The above bike is the best
thing so far, we thought the
same as Mike Soares, be a great
garden ornament and talking
point, haha!
Don't do it expecting to
find anything of note, it's just
great fun.
Few beers, some
mates, my son repeatedly saying
'You've caught another magnet,
Dad' every time it comes up
blank.
A few people have said we
should keep what we find and
show it off but didn't think
anyone would be bothered and it
really is mostly scrap metal. We
had an audience when we found
that bike though which they
seemed to enjoy.
I need stronger magnets,
loads of things down there I
can't lift as they're just too
heavy for the ones I have. So,
anyone got any super powerful
magnets, hit me up!"
Loads of great comments on this
picture...

Lamma anymore and haven't
visited for over a year, I still
enjoy reading your Lamma news

Greetings from
Canada, where it was already
freezing last night, -3

Great news from
HK Electric, sole
power supplier for HK and Lamma
Islands:
"Mr. Wan Chi-tin, Managing
Director of HK Electric,
attributed the adjustment of the
Basic Tariff to an increase in
capital expenditure, required
for the "coal-to-gas"
transition in electricity
generation to support
Government's environmental
policy, the reinforcement of
transmission and distribution
systems, as well as the
installation of smart meters to
help transform Hong Kong into a
Smart City....
On the other hand, a
significant drop in electricity
sales brought about by COVID-19
and the prevailing economic
downturn has put pressure on
tariff....
HK Electric will continue to
provide relief measures and
energy-saving programmes
including the distribution of
dining coupons to
underprivileged households, as
well as programmes like NGO
Catering Subsidy, SDU
Electricity Charges Relief and
other energy conservation
initiatives....
HK Electric has achieved good
progress with the
"coal-to-gas" transition to
combat climate change and
improve Hong Kong's air quality.
With the commissioning of the
new gas-fired unit L10 early
this year, the proportion of the
Company's gas-fired generation
has reached about 50% of the
overall electricity generation,
and various emissions have been
reduced significantly....
When the other two new
gas-fired units and the offshore
liquefied natural gas terminal
currently under construction are
commissioned in the next few
years, the proportion of our
gas-fired generation will rise
further to about 70% with
corresponding reductions in
emissions."
