Its been spoken about for years
None of the fast food outlets have seemed keen to uptake the idea
Prehaps as mentioned, they are afraid it may see sales drop

Our security team chose an electric MG SUV as their new patrol vehicle.In two years it broke down more times than anyone can remember. Luckily, it was leased so it got thrown back as unfit for use and contract ended

Took the Monaro out to the Barlylands show, Billericay.
Way to hot to really be sitting in a field
But, at least we have an event shelter to keep most of the sun off
Some other nice motors there apart for ours

I listen, when I have time, to a youtuber called Kfir Ochion
He plays guitar covers of popular rock and metal tracks
He has written his own 10 minute solo of "Comfortably Numb"
My supervisor was raised on Floyd so he said he would be the judge of how good it was
When it finished, he told me he had goose bumps nearly all the way through it
He said His father, who was the Floyd nut, would have been mightily impressed
Worth having a listen to him
As for me, one of the best in my opinion is Mettalicas cover of "Turn the page"
The origional is good, but this is head and shoulders above it

« on: 02 September 2023, 08:12:47 »We did a lot of fancy little staircases for student flats at the Uni about 30 years ago. Probably been replaced by something else by now.
Didn't have fancy staircases when I was there, just a dodgy lift where occasionally the doors on floor 12 would open when the lift was at floor 13. That sobered me up pretty quick after an evening in the bar the first time it happened! Seeing your extended foot hovering over an empty lift shaft tends to have that effect.
We have had two towers fully refurbed with all new lift gear as well. Next one is being done later this year for completion next summer. The bits Albs and me were talking about is the South Courts Accomadation. No lifts, just small staricases, max four storey
