Overworking actually - they've been running a couple of the interconnects on the South Coast of England at 50% over capacity. Not surprisingly, this eventually overheated and ignited the oil-fired cooling, burning one of them down. <<The fire at the Interconnexion France-Angleterre (IFA) site broke out in the early hours of Wednesday. The site was evacuated and there were no reports of casualties. After the fire an electricity interconnector running under the English Channel was "not operating", the National Grid said in a statement.>> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58579829 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58579829

(If you are looking for the angled quotes ('«', '»'), depending on your system and layout, try [RightAlt]+[<] and [RightAlt]+[>]. There are keyboard layouts using four layers - regular, shifted, alternate and shifted-alternate, together with the combinations (e.g. [RightAlt]+[:], [u] → 'ü') )

  Thanks, but sadly doesn't work on this laptop, (UK keyboard), hence taking the lazy option.

    You are writing in English and quoting an English statement, why not use the native ("") quoting style ?

      They are ambiguous as used for both quotation and figurative rhetoric. So some prefer to disambiguate: '«veni, vidi, "vici"», said the epigone of Pyrrhus'.

      Because the quoted text included quotes. I'm an IT Developer, I instinctively shy away from ambiguous nesting.

Ooft - I'd heard about the fire, but not that it was caused by overworking it!
