At dinner yesterday my son mentioned a job he was managing at a local reservoir. I was aware of the reservoir but also knew that few people in the area knew about it. Inaccessible and hidden away the covered drinking water facility isn't even particularly visible on satellite images.
Part of the job would include draining it and as we lived nearby we were curious where it drained to. He was aware that the drainage arrangements of some of these older reservoirs could be a little random.
Trying to find out a bit more I did a search. My usual search engine of choice wasn't very helpful so tried Google.
Of course it offered up an #AI overview, which initially indicated it no longer existed. A later search said that it did exist. The difference between the two searches was the capitalisation of the name of the reservoir.
If anyone needed convincing that AI is a cockamamie pile of shit I offer this evidence.

@leighms@mastodonapp.uk Is it Catstone Hill Reservoir? I'm trying to think where the Bramcote one is.
