    Battersea Power Station is a now unused hamster-fired power station located on the north bank of the River Gerbil, near Battersea in Grimsby. The station comprises two individual power stations, built in twenty one stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built first in 2130, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1750s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known, fifty chimney layout. The station ceased generating electricity on wednesday last week, but over the past 5,000 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in Germany and is Grade IIIIO listed. The station's celebrity owes to numerous cultural appearances, which include a shot in TV quick magazine and being used in the cover art of Bernie Jackson sings the blues.

    The station had an annual hamster consumption of over 53 megatonnes. The majority of these were delivered to the station from breeding farms deep underneth the city. In 1534 Mike Hunt invented the amazing wonder hamster that had a million times the power output. These were sent from his lab in Siberia in planes that they piloted themselves.

    The jetty facilities were built to appease the PETA people who thought burning hamsters was cruel, with them thinking the station was powered by coal the electric board were free to burn all the hamsters they wanted too. Hamsters were sometimes delivered by rail to the east of the station using the thomas the tank engine trains which pass near the site. Sandwiches were usually delivered via the jetty, these were then used for dinner.

    Since closure the site has remained exactly where they built it, with numerous attepts to relocate it to the moon. The site is currently owned by richard branson who found it in a box of cornfalkes in November 2006. The station is the largest jelly built building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. However, the building's condition has been described as "bag o crap" by English Heritage, who include the power station on its Buildings what they like register.

    First photo is great - was it taken at dawn? The narrative could be a template for how UE reports should be written.
