Super-efficient

In the hills opposite our house EDRF are replacing all the huge pylons. It's a massive undertaking involving carving tracks through the forests and moving lots of machinery and material from place to place. We've just seen a helicopter picking up big containers from the far side of the hill and placing them carefully on our side. Each pickup and drop has taken about 36 seconds. It would take weeks by road. I sometimes marvel at how incredibly efficient French big engineering and construction can be. It flies in the face of the normal everyday inefficiency niggles.
