News from Hochtief this week that had me choking on my cornflakes.
Could it have finally succeeded where generations of amateur photographers have failed? Could they have captured a shot of the elusive Loch Ness monster?
Well, no actually. What they’ve done instead is dress some poor bloke up in a furry green suit and told him to perch on their tunnel boring machine, which has finished its job cutting 8km of tunnels on Scottish and Southern Energy’s Glendoe hydro-electric project.
I love the pose though, as if he has just been asked to say ‘boo’ to the camera. Loch Ness monster my ar*e. I’ve seen more frightening things floating in my tea.
Still, at least Hochtief have obeyed the rules on PPE. Nessie has a high-vis vest, which is nice. No hard hat though. Still, monsters probably don’t need one.
