It has just come to my attention that the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant continued to operate until the year 2000.
As the thread title and icon suggest, I find this somewhat surprising.

In the meltdown, maybe someone forgot to turn it off?

Apparently there were four different reactors, the first of which got decommissioned (in a manner of speaking) during the events of 1986.
The others were taken out of service at different times up to 2000.
Given the mega catastrophe that occurred there, I'd always assumed that after the reactor had been buried in a mountain of concrete, the site would have been abandoned for a THOUSAND YEARS.
But apparently not.

Went a few years ago when england played in ukraine...very commercialised now. You have to go through body scanners to check for radiation on the way out, and the thing that checks the radiation near the reactors that goes through the roof looked like a toy toys r us (RIP). The fairground looks like its untouched and remains of a school still there. Also part of the football ground and dressing rooms still there. The thing that made me think its not all it seems is when they said the football pitch was where it was but had a 200 year old oak tree growing in the middle of it. There are also about 34 families (2013) left who have never left the complex and are supposedly not allowed to. Interesting couple of hours but nt enough to make you want to go back.

I suspect the radiation in the area will reduce to safe levels around the next time we mount a credible challenge for the league title.

Don't worry, there's no shame in not being very bright.
HOWEVER, there is a HUGE question mark against your punctuation!

It might have helped if the thread title had the word 'go' in it instead of 'got'?
The use of a question mark when making a statement question is debatable, unlike your mistake in the title.

Well done, Zoso, you've got me regarding the MASSIVE typo.
The rest of your post is your usual arguing for the sake of arguing.

So somebody had accused him of not understanding the thread title, and he was querying that?
I suppose THAT would make sense. But that wasn't the case though.
Anyway, I'll leave you to try on your new dress, and we'll move on from your POINTLESS attempts at point scoring.

I know it’s an exaggeratedly Northern expression of surprise but what does ‘go (or got) to the foot of our stairs’ actually mean?
What is at the foot of the stairs ??
