[Thursday] Porthcurno Telegraph Station

[David Crowell]

 I once worked with a Brit and he would order several beers. One he would drink cold and the rest he would let warm up before drinking them. That is there way. 
BTW, the fridges in Britain are made by Lucas Electric!See this:

 Very good, of course, but they needed to fix their refrigerators because the beer was still warm. The food was uninspired except for the Cornish Pasty. There is lots of info on the pasty here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20PGI%20status,pepper%2C%20keeping%20a%20chunky%20texture.

I visited some really nice working atmospheric steam engines, went into a tin mine, and visited an ancestral farm in Cornwall.

The telegraph station museum in Porthcurno, England has many artifacts and tells the history of the underwater cables to North America. Here is a video that includes a visit. You can watch the video from the start about Cornwall or skip to the 14:30 spot to just see the museum. The museum tour is short - about one minute.
