On my gear it was actually working last night. But in line with the sun, you couldn't see anything because it was too dark!!
Although they say it uploads a new photo every 20 seconds, unlike the Skopelos webcam we link to, the picture doesn't change as you watch - you have to click the refresh button on your browser to get any change. View from the Panorama restaurant which I personally have never yet visited. It does seem a little on the dark side - hope it will improve when the sun comes out. Nevertheless, it's a vast improvement over no camera at all.
Thank you Tre.

Hey EGG, what are you doing in a chicken factory? Going back to your roots?
The Panorama Restaurant camera is now very nice in the sunshine.

By the way EGG, your hut reminds me of the time a few years ago when I had a dawn delivery to a chicken egg place. Couldn't see anybody so I wandered around looking and saw several vast buildings all making a load of chicken noises. I eventually was spotted and got rid of my delivery, then I asked to use the toilet. The guy led me through the stores, another huge shed full of egg packing parafernalia. They had many large piles of egg cartons of different brands and one pile was all of a brand robustly advertised as Free Range from Free running chickens. They must have forgotten to tell the chickens!

All the chickens here are either about to get the chop or in clingfilm containers, tasty though!

All the chickens here are either about to get the chop or in clingfilm containers, tasty though! Now there's a blast from my past. Fifty odd years ago I got myself a second job, evenings labouring in a chicken factory. Live chickens went in one end and eventually I wheeled them into the freezer. We packed two brands of frozen chickens and some time in the middle of the night, the foreman would blow a whistle and shout "Change to Tastees" and I'd go round the packing ladies taking away the bags and replacing them with Tastee bags. That was the difference between Tastees and the other brand whose name escapes me. |

There is a big chicken processing factory near me where feathers are one end and packaging at the other. I've been told by someone who's son works there that they process about 1,000,000 a week.

Just a million? After being made redundant I took a stopgap job labouring at Cadbury's on permanent nights, Monday to Thursday, 9pm to 6am, packing fudge bars. They came down the belt in rows of 24 bars, about 6 inches between rows and they didn't stop. Packing the right number into each box was by counting the number of sixes we grabbed, eight sixes to a box. I have long forgotten how many boxes each three man team had to do per night to make our quota but it was several pallet loads!

sometimes we can be thankful for computers and robotic production lines to save us from jobs like this.
My son worked on a similar line at a well known crisp factory 12 hour night shifts in his university holidays,, made him be grateful he was lucky enough to be able to do a degree and escape a lifetime of jobs like this. He did some weird and wonderful jobs, delivering slabs, shops, shrink wrapping sunday suplements unloading lorries.
When he went for interviews after his degree, he was told time and again, showing a willingness to do any job shows determination and a work ethic and can do team working. It was that got him his jobs not the degree. you see so many people with degrees now but no expereience of life ending up working in macdonalds.
No doubt dennis's many views of life and variety of jobs and still working ! have made him the lively fun person he is today/
