@divegeester saidDéjà vu? π€ π
While we are talking about TV series, who has seen this one?
Because of it’s poignant relevance and incredible accuracy it has to be up there with the best TV I’ve ever watched.
5 episodes of astonishingly accurate, terrifyingly grim, movingly heroic, sobering brilliance.
@divegeester saidThere certainly are a large number of people who'd agree with you...I think.
I felt it deserved a thread of it's own.
@divegeester saidI heard it mentioned on the Beeb and look forward to seeing it.

Btw did you know that the Ukraines now sell blueberries in the European market? They collect baskets of the things from the surrounding forests then sell them to a company that has someone to check the radiation level. The low level of radioactivity blueberries are put to one side and the ones with a high level are put to another. Then the low and high level types are combined and sold on as blueberries with an ‘acceptable’ level of radioactivity: so always read the label!
@sonhouse saidamazon's choice for a fruit radiation detector...
@drewnogal
Or take a Geiger counter with you to market....
very reasonably priced,
there are even cheaper versions of the same device!!!

@sonhouse saidSo much for EU food standards.

@rookie54 saidIronically that’s what the Russian head of nuclear energy said when they were designing the Chernobyl reactor.
there are even cheaper versions of the same device!!!
@divegeester saidHeard it on a Guardian podcast.
So much for EU food standards.

@divegeester saidNorwegian fish farms, the ones floating on the fjords, that’s another polluted source of food sold in the EU. France buy a lot of their salmon, the Norwegians wont touch it!
So much for EU food standards.
(If the account by drewnogal is true, which I doubt btw)
Farmed Norwegian Salmon - World’s most toxic foods.
@divegeester saidIs that the "REAL" reason Britain (well some of the Brits) want out of the EU?
So much for EU food standards.

@divegeester said"Negatory", though I thought I heard, somewhere that they the Ukraniums are going to be offering tours in 2136.
Have you seen it?
